Life and career

Zemmour was born in Montreuil on August 31, 1958, during his time in the Seine department, which is now part of Seine-Saint-Denis. His parents, who were still residents of Algeria, which was part of France at the time, had French citizenship, and so they had French citizenship. They had gone to metropolitan France in 1952, before the Algerian War, as well as their parents and siblings. He paternal grandparents, born Liaou and Messouka, took the names Justin and Rachel, and his maternal grandmother, born Ourida, took the middle name Claire upon their arrival in France. Her husband was named Léon, and this is the source of Zemmour's middle name.

Roger Zemmour, a paramedic, and Lucette, a housewife, were among his parents. His father was often absent and so he was mainly raised by his mother and grandmother; he has since said that this helped him to forge his image, as well as his mother's love for excellence. Jean-Luc, Jean-Luc, is Jean-Luc's younger brother.

Zemmour came first in Drancy and then in the Paris Château Rouge quarter. He was brought up in the Jewish faith, and he speaks Hebrew. Despite being private about his faith, he follows the Halakha's paths and attended synagogues regularly until his father's death in 2013. "Moose" is his Jewish name, he has said.

Zemmour attended Jewish private schools, École Lucien-de-Hirsh, and École Yabné. In 1979, he graduated from the Institut des études politiques de Paris. He then failed twice (in 1980 and 1981) to enroll in the École nationale d'administration (ÉNA). However, he later became a member of the school's admissions committee in 2006.

Éric Zemmour has been married to Mylène Chichportich, a Tunisian Jewish lawyer who specializes in bankruptcy law, since 1982. She has a low public profile and never speaks out against her husband's scandals. The couple have three children, two boys, and a girl.

Zemmour's chief campaign advisor Sarah Knafo pregnant in 2021 was found to have been pregnant by French gossip magazines, although he acknowledged her as his partner in January 2022.

Zemmour said in a Le Point interview in 2014 that although he does not believe in God, he maintains a kosher home and occasionally attends synagogue services.

Zemmour began his career in 1986 on the Paris politics desk, under the direction of Philippe Tesson. He became a lead writer at Info-Matin, where he stayed for a year after the newspaper went out of business in 1994. In 1996, he joined Le Figaro as a political reporter. Zemmour worked for Marianne (1997) and Valeurs actuelles (1999).

During the 1990s, he called for a political alliance of the French right-wing parties, assassinating contacts with the National Front's founder and president ("who Zemmour was unique amongst journalists in addressing as president") and his opponent Bruno Mégret.

In 2009, Le Figaro Magazine began moving him, allegedly after making controversial statements in other media, but in truth, his salary was too high for his modest weekly output. He returned to Le Figaro in 2013 as a permanent journalist, writing literary articles, until he took time off work in September 2021 to promote his latest book.

He served as a political columnist at Le Spectacle du Monde, a monthly publication published by the Valeurs Actuelles group from 2013 to 2014, and A reticle du Monde, a political journal that deceased publication in July 2014.

Zemmour has published biographies of Prime Minister Édouard Balladur (Balladur, immobile à grands pas, or "Balladur, Motionless With Great Strides") and President Jacques Chirac (L'Homme qui ne pas pas, or "The Man Who Did Not Like Himself") as well as political biographies. Notably, he published Le premier sexe ("The First Sex"), a book on what he sees as the feminization of society in 2006. He worked on the screenplay for Michel Royer and Karl Zéro's film Dans la peau de Jacques Chirac, but the former director said that Zemmour's writing was only used to a limited extent. In 2008, he published Petit Frère, a limited run of 63,000 copies in which he criticized "antiracist angelism." Mélancolie française ("French Melancholy"), which was the best Prix du livre incorrectly awarded in March 2010, was incorrect (lit. If any events have occurred, the 'Inappropriate Book Award' (inappropriate Book Award) considers alternate histories of France.'

Zemmour's book "The French Suicide"), which has sold over a million copies and remains his best literary achievement to date. He defends his assertion that the French nation-state has weakened since the 1970s, which he most attributed to the "May '68 generation's popularity."

In Destination français ("French Destiny"), a book that was published in 2018, he set events from his own life tale in the context of several historical events. He spoke about France's past, as well as analyzing the influence of Islam in France, which he sees as increasing in French culture.

According to Le Parisien, La France n'a pas dit son dernier mot, published on September 15, 2021, sold over 80,000 copies in the first four days and 165,000 copies in the first three weeks.

He appeared on the show i>Télé first on the 24-hour news channel i>Télé first, starting in September 2003 and later Nicolas Domenach. Following Zemmour's remarks on Islam in the Italian newspaper Corre della Sera, the channel decided to cancel the program in December 2014. For unlawful conduct of employment, the channel was later ordered to pay Zemmour €50,000.

Zemmour appeared on Vedredi pétantes from June 2006, and after September 2006, he returned to France 2 to present Onn't pas couché, hosted by Laurent Ruquier, accompagné by Michel Polac and then Éric Naulleau, where they were responsible for delivering honest critique of films, books, or most notable musical albums. Their interactions with cultural figures during the exhibition often resulted in clashes. Ruquier revealed in Le Parisien on May 27 that he was swapping Zemmour and Naulleau with new contributors for the next season of On n'est pas couché.

Éric Zemmour was also a participant on L'Hebdo, a channel for the overseas departments and territories; he was joined by sociologist Dominique Wolton, among other things. Lastly, he appeared on the cable network Histoire on the show Le grand débat, hosted by Michel Field. Since January 4, 2010, he has written a short article titled Z comme Zemmour on RTL called Z comme Zemmour, in which he provides topical news analysis. He has been hosting Zemmour et Naulleau, alongside Éric Naulleau, on a late talk show on Paris Première since September 2011. Zemmour's show in 2021 attracted nearly 900,000 nightly viewers, ten times more than in 2019.

Zemmour was briefly placed under armed police cover in 2015 after the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Zemmour was mocked and threatened in Paris on April 30 as he was walking by himself carrying grocery bags. The man was caught by the perpetrator himself who posted the video on social media announcing that he was filmed dismissing the man and running away from the scene. Zemmour was given a phone call from President Emmanuel Macron shortly after, in which they discussed the incident. On September 8, 2020, the perpetrator, who later revealed himself that Zemmour is "too good at debate," received a suspended prison term of three months. Zemmour was assaulted in Paris on September 27th, 2021, when a man shouted a death threat in the name of Islam. He has been under constant police protection since October 2020.
