  "account": "Eric Zemmour, a far-right politician, has announced his intention to run for the presidency of France in 2027. Four years ago, Zemmour secured 7% of the votes in the first round of the presidential election by advocating for an anti-immigration platform. Speaking on TF1’s evening news program, Zemmour stated his goal is to preserve a \"French France.\" He plans to introduce legislation for deporting foreign criminals and jobseekers, as well as to significantly cut public spending and taxes. According to a recent opinion poll, Zemmour would likely secure 3% to 4% of the votes if the election were held today. Zemmour will face Marine Le Pen, a far-right candidate, in the second-round runoff on May 2. Le Pen is currently favored to succeed President Emmanuel Macron in the runoff, followed by far-left rival Jean-Luc Mélenchon.",
