Eric Zemmour, leader of the French nationalist party Reconquête, reacted to Donald Trump’s election win with a sense of historical inevitability, asserting that every major political shift in the United States has echoed across France. Zemmour emphasized that Trump’s victory—an unapologetic stand for national identity and Western values—serves as a rallying cry for similar movements within France.
He points out a historical lineage: the American Revolution of 1776 inspired the French Revolution of 1789, and Ronald Reagan’s 1980 election ushered in economic liberalization even within a socialist French government. Now, with Trump’s ascent as a defender of Western values, Zemmour sees a new wave of influence poised to shape France. “This victory will have consequences in France,” he asserts with confidence. He promises his supporters that he will stand at the forefront of this ideological battle, ready to lead France in defense of its cultural heritage and national identity.
As leader of Reconquête, Zemmour remains committed to fostering this resurgence of French patriotism, positioning himself as a counterpart to Trump’s nationalist movement.
