A new trip by Éric Zemmour was disrupted this Wednesday, 4 days after violent clashes in Brest in Finistère. In question, an incident which took place in the train which carried the former presidential candidate 2022 to Limoges. In this case, several versions oppose each other for the same result: a CGT Tech executive was arrested and placed in police custody for remarks deemed anti-Semitic.

In addition, an anti-Zemmour reception committee was waiting for the polemicist at the station. About thirty people then moved in front of the police station to support the arrested railway worker.

“The witnesses are numerous, including the police”

For supporters of the former CNews polemicist, Frédéric Tronche, was arrested on the platform of the Limoges Bénédictins station after having uttered anti-Semitic insults against the polemicist, as reported The People of the Center.

The arrested railway worker is currently a member of the executive committee of the CGT railway workers of Haute-Vienne. The latter would have asked, “screaming”, to the defeated legislative candidate in the Var last summer, if he was taking “the train to Auschwitz”, according to Reconquest MEP Nicolas Bay on Twitter.

Your rep repeatedly yelled at @ZemmourEric notably by launching “Are you taking the train to Auschwitz? “. We also do not forget that your flag @lacgtcommunique floated among the savages who attacked the hotel of his dedication in Brest. If you… https://t.co/trs6SE04EH

A version also supported by the regional adviser Reconquête! Philippe Vardo. “In fact, this leader of the CGT Cadres Tech multiplied the – jokes, asking everyone if the train carrying Éric Zemmour was going to Auschwitz or Dachau. There are many witnesses, including police officers, ”he explains, also sharing an alleged post by the railway worker on Facebook.

Oh the naughty liar.

“Train to Vichy”

Not at all the same story on the side of the boss of the CGT, Sophie Binet, maintained another version on social networks. “Frédéric Tronche questions the controller to find out if the train is not going to Vichy. Result: he has been in GAV since 2:30 p.m. accused… of anti-Semitism. Everything’s good ! “, ironically the new boss of the union.

For La Licra, this affair is “one of those mirror situations, where the emotion is maximum – the time of a buzz -, on a platform that monetizes hatred and low-level fistfights… all on the backs of the Jews, history and memory. This, on the other hand, we understood it well, ”she communicated on the social network Twitter.

This is not the first time that Eric Zemmour’s arrival in left-wing strongholds has caused incidents. Clashes broke out on the sidelines of a demonstration by opponents of Éric Zemmour last Saturday afternoon in Brest (Finistère). The founder of the far-right Reconquest party had come to sign his latest book “I didn’t say my last word”.

At least two people were injured and two others were arrested and taken into custody following his incidents according to the sub-prefecture. Éric Zemmour, recently convicted of “racist insult” incriminated the “antifas” but also the prefecture which “did not do its job”, according to him, he announced on Monday that he had filed a complaint in this case.
