Eric Zemmour openly acknowledges his ideological affinity with Trump's MAGA movement

Eric Zemmour has taken a new step in his international political positioning. Invited on Monday, June 8th, by the Heritage Foundation to present his book, *The French Suicide*, which has now been translated into English, an influential American conservative think tank, the president of Reconquête openly proclaimed his affinities with the MAGA movement. Donald Trump“We have a lot in common with MAGA,” the likely presidential candidate declared at the conference in Washington. He went further, telling AFP that there was “no shame in thinking you have ideological affinities with the MAGA movement.”

A book to conquer conservative America

This trip to the United States is part of a promotional effort for "The French Suicide," his 2014 book recently reissued and now translated into English as "The Suicide of France." The speech before the Heritage Foundation offers the leader of Reconquête a prestigious platform at the heart of the American conservative establishment. The release of this English-language version clearly represents an opportunity for Eric Zemmour to broaden his audience beyond France and to forge more formal ties with the American right.

This frank statement marks a turning point in the polemicist's communication strategy. By publicly acknowledging these "major points of agreement" with Trumpism, Eric Zemmour is demonstrating a desire to align himself with an international conservative movement. This stance contrasts sharply with the usual caution of many French political figures regarding American references. The timing of this statement, just months before the presidential election, seems calculated to appeal to an electorate receptive to the themes championed by Donald Trump.
