Éric Zemmour (born August 31, 1958) is a French writer and political journalist.
His antiliberal and radical positions, as well as the numerous controversies he has been involved in, are notorious in France. In 2014 with the publication of his book The French Suicide he gained popularity outside of France.
One of Zemmour's wishes is that people in France choose a French given name, chosen from the calendar of saints. On September 18, Zemmour created a new controversy by insulting the name of the columnist Hapsatou Sy in the program "Les terriens du dimanche". His words "it's your name that is an insult to France" were cut at the editing of the show but rebroadcast by the young woman. She decided to file a complaint against Zemmour.
