Employees working in large companies complain about tensions caused by growing ideological pressure, the renowned essayist told a popular television show, adding that the ideology HR managers have adopted promotes support for racial and sexual minorities, but fails to award due recognition to other workers for their merits.

Speaking to the popular Face a l Info programme, renowned French essayist Eric Zemmour shared his views on diversity and social mixing. He pointed out that people are often led to believe that the fight for diversity equates to a struggle against inequality, although, in fact, the opposite is true. Diversity is the root cause of inequality, Zemmour argued, stressing that the fight against inequality must be wages within a national framework, and that nations must be given protection.

Eric Zemmour highlighted that 70 to 80 per cent of the French population fear that their country will lose its French civilisation and Islam will replace it. The essayist believes that these sentiments are shared not only by the working class, but also by middle-class people. 

Zemmour also pointed out that human resource managers at large French companies exert enormous pressure on employees through the ideology they promote, voicing support for racial and sexual minorities but failing to award due recognition to other workers for their merits.

We must find hope in the grandeur of the past, the essayist wrote on Twitter, stressing their commitment to fight for the survival of France as we know it.

The issue of social diversity has sparked intense public debates after 19 April, when a woman wearing a headscarf complained to President Emmanuel Macron about the lack of social diversity in her district s school, saying it hardly has any French students. She said her eight-year-old son had asked her if the name Pierre really existed, or it was only to be found in books, because he knew no one by this name.

Several politicians reacted to the topic, including Housing Minister Emmanuelle Wargon. She said the lack of social diversity would be harmful, adding that she thinks people want social and cultural diversity.

Eric Zemmour, on the other hand, thinks that if the woman wearing a headscarf wanted her child to know the name Pierre, she should have given him that name, just like the generations of immigrants before her. She should have taken off her headscarf and live like the French. If French people living in her community had fled or moved away, it was because they felt like a stranger in their own country. The responsiblity for all this lies with President Macron, because the Muslim woman simply did she could, or was allowed to. She was not obliged to give her child a French name, because a legislation adopted in France on 8 January 1993 has expanded parents s personal freedom in naming their children, allowing them to give any first name to their children, so long as it s not offensive to either a third person, or the children themselves.
