In a recent interview, French politician and author Éric Zemmour warned that France does not exist to take in the growing population of Africa and that due to changing demographics, the country’s future political system will be highly identitarian. More on his warning is here.
“We are not there to accommodate the demographic surplus of African countries. We are not here to put our welfare state at the service of Africa. We are not here to treat all of Africa, usually for free,” said Zemmour, who leads the Reconquest party, to French news outlet Le Point. “I understand very well that Africans, at the same time, are free, independent, that they define their friendships, their alliances as they see fit. They are responsible for their countries, we for ours.”
The interview touched on a wide range of subjects and explored Zemmour’s new book, “I Haven’t Said the Last Word,” which chronicles his electoral campaign following last year’s defeat. The book also covers the dominant political trends in French society and where France is headed in the future.
The issue of Africa looms large in this context, with polling showing tens of millions of Africans wish to migrate to the West. One of the major destinations happens to be France, but Zemmour rejects the idea that France has any obligation to take in these newcomers. Regarding the North African countries with strong French ties, Zemmour said these nations now seek to “emancipate” themselves from France and that France should respond in kind.
“We live in a new period. African countries want to emancipate themselves, not from colonial tutelage, but from France. Because, at the same time, they throw themselves into the arms of a new neo-colonial tutelage of Russia, China, even England.
“France must do the same. It must therefore no longer consider that African immigration is welcome. We too must emancipate ourselves from African colonization in France and rebuild relations with Africa on a sound basis.”
Fears of cultural extinction from French Europeans are met with the firm conviction that the process has already begun, according to poll data. The writer Michel Houllebecq argues that “the Great Replacement” is already taking place.
Zemmour, who has long warned about the Great Replacement, also discussed how the future of France’s political system is greatly tied to rapidly changing demographics. In his view, once the “boomer” generation dies off, the political fight in France will become very identitarian. The paradox is that the remaining ethnic French may be too few in number to adequately represent their interests.
“The nature of the fight will change. According to INSEE, 30 percent of children under 4 come from non-European immigration. One in three children. In 20 years, they will be 30 percent who will vote and live in increasingly Islamized enclaves. For those who say there is no Great Replacement: the numbers speak for themselves.
“France Stratégie, an organization attached to the prime minister, carried out a study more than a year ago which explained that, in many cities, the proportions of people from non-European immigration among young people aged 0 to 18 years reached 75 percent to 85 percent.
“In cities where they were previously infinitesimal, Limoges for example, they already reach 27 percent. Demography makes history. The fundamental law in history is numbers. And the numbers are in the process of tipping France into another world.”
For France’s older generations, France is in many ways still France, as the population from this generation is almost entirely ethnic French, and many of these older generations have successfully insulated themselves from the country’s growing diversity. However, Zemmour says for the younger generations, this attitude is not prevalent, but this group may lack the demographic numbers to vote their way out of the situation once the older, Whiter generations pass away.
“If we continue, in 20 years, there will be two blocks facing each other. Native and assimilated French people, who will want to continue their life in France and then those who will consider that France must be in their image, an Islamic Republic.
“There will be those who want France to remain a European country and those who think that France is now an African country. Obviously, this is an acknowledgment of failure. It will mean that I failed to access the power and stop this infernal mechanism in time. The question is whether the French people are aware, or not, of the mortal danger that awaits them. If this is not the case, history will advance.”…
Éric Zemmour in the past has been censored in France. As part of a general crackdown on opponents to mass immigration, a private TV channel was forced by the French media authority to get rid of Zemmour, its leading conservative commentator, while Generation Identity activists are convicted for criticizing lack of control at the border.
Éric Zemmour continues his Cassandra-like warnings to the French. They have fully paid whatever debt they may once have thought, or been inveigled into thinking, that they owed to North Africa. Demography is destiny, and France is being overwhelmed by immigrants from Africa — especially from Muslim North Africa. The fertility rates of the Muslims in France far outstrip that of the native French.
Again, let’s repeat Zemmour’s chilling figures on demography: 30% of the children in France under the age of four come from non-European (overwhelmingly Muslim North African) immigrant backgrounds. And in many French cities, the proportion of young people from non-European immigrant backgrounds has reached 75 percent to 85 percent of those aged 0 to 18 years. What will France look like, if nothing is done to halt that immigration of maghrebins, in 20 years? In 30?

The Left in Western nations encouraged mass immigration of Muslims to, as thy said, ‘rub the noses of conservatives in it.” Tony Blair said as much in England when PM. Their reason was that these immigrants would always vote for the Left, meaning Conservative parties would never be able to gain power ever again. What they didn’t take into consideration was that these immigrants would overwhelm the nations and eventually outnumber the original inhabitants and change the country forever. Lefties are not very bright!

Thanks Hugh! The numbers look grim.

Europeans know they are being invaded and destroyed from within. And they will do nothing about it. A mass suicide.

Let’s face the facts Mr. Zemmour. Young male Islamic jihadis continue to flood into the EU and France. Their objective is to dominate the world through global jihad. A lot of these jihadis are from Africa because former French leader DE Gaulle colonized North Africa and that stupid action has brought his chickens home to roost. In 20 years, the French people will be to their Muslim overlords. Where is real French leadership?
Taylor says
French leader DE Gaulle colonized North Africa
De Gaul de-colonized N. Africa and his successors implemented a come one, come all immigration policy.

So long as his idea of getting them out of france ISN’T shoving them all onto britain.
We don’t want africa’s garbage either.
Send them all back to the 7th century cesspits they originated from!

>We don’t want africa’s garbage either.
It kinda looks like you do.

Algeria was once part of Metropolitan France so Algerians think they have right to emigrate to France. The trouble is their religion, Notre Dame fire ?. Algeria apparently applied to be in the British Commonwealth, thank goodness they were denied . France is being eaten alive from within, much info kept from the French, such as a church every day somewhere in France is set on fire, as are 1000 + cars every Christmas, info suppressed.

This tide of migrants diluting Western Civilisation cares nothing for our cultures and traditions; they’re not here for that.

france is now a forever cesspit of muslim ingrates , sucking the life out of the social services they are provided with . part of the ” muslims are the best of people ” mantra the koran tells us . coming from the lips of a pedophile . the jizyah tax covertly paid by the state levied from the infidel nation they invade . so when is all said and done , everything will be said but nothing will be done . GODS judgement on a nation that fed jews into the death camps of world war 2 and now embraces their mortal enemies , muslims . it won’t get better for france only worse .

Recently I was speaking with a French woman of around late 50s years old who told me, a mature British man, that she was a feminist, always has been and always will be, I never asked her this as she just decided to inform me off the cuff, anyways after a few minutes I asked her if she liked the fact that so many young muslim men were pouring into France who are taught by their religion of the place in society islam has for such woman like herself and right away she informed that this was a good thing as we ,in France, need such diversity as that is the way of France and Europe these days so I replied that these young muslim men despise feminists and see French and other European females as sluts and basically whores they do not have to pay for thereby rape is more common these days than any other time, she started screaming at me as she walked away calling me a disgusting racist.
Ya cant fix that kind of stupidity.

Four immigrants for every American citizen will break the bank, our school systems, health care systems, housing problems, and, unfortunately, crime records. In Los Angeles County alone, nearly 70,000 people experience homelessness on any given night, according to the 2022 point-in-time count. These numbers

Well, the WEF and others have told us they think the world would be better off with only a billion others. And seeing as the world’s population is now abut 7 billion, is the excess six billion others world supposed to “soylent green” itself??
