French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour was again expelled from a sports hall owned by star Zinedine Zidane and run by his brother Noureddine Zidane.
Zemmour, the author of anti-foreign rhetoric, especially Muslims, decided to play today, Saturday 2 April, a football match inside the hall with some of his fans in the city of Marseille, which is known for a strong presence of the Muslim community.
However, the management of the sports facility, headed by Noureddine Zidane, brother of the Algerian football star, intervened shortly after the start of the match, to ask Zammour and his companions to leave, including the journalists present.
And the French website “La Debiche” quoted the local press in Marseille as saying that the management of the sports facility called “Z5” indicated that it had not been informed of the organization of such an event, and that it did not want to link its image to the far-right candidate.
For his part, Zemmour commented on the incident in a statement to the newspaper “La Provence”, saying: “We see that in France there are not only illegal regions, but also areas not designated for football.”
Before arriving in the gymnasium, the candidate had visited two markets in Marseille, where he again raised the controversy with his extremist statements, in which he said that Marseille had been “turned into a third world country and into an African country”, and that “all these people who are doing this must be cleaned up.” With all this smuggling.”
The Z5 sports facility, which was opened by Zinedine Zidane in 2011, is located in the town of “Aix-en-Provence” north of Marseille, the birthplace of the star Zinedine, and it extends over an area of 3,200 square meters and includes 7 football fields.
At the time, Zidane responded to those who criticized his establishment of the project outside the marginalized northern neighborhoods of Marseille, by saying that he was working to provide transportation to bring young men from Marseille to the sports hall and return them, adding that he was very stubborn and would establish a Z5 in Marseille “whatever happens.”
Eric Zemmour takes fourth place in the race to the Elysee, according to the latest opinion polls, with current President Emmanuel Macron leading the race, followed by Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally, and Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the left-wing France Proud party.
