French far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour promised a “reconquest” against decades of decline at his first political rally, as scuffles with anti-racism protesters broke out on its fringes, Reuters reports.
Said Zemmour: “If I win this election, it won’t be another rotation of power but a reconquest of the greatest country in the world.”
Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports Zemmour was grabbed by a crowd member who briefly put him in a headlock. A video showed men punching the activists and chairs being thrown, while security officials tried to break up the fight.
