The Paris Criminal Court has slapped French far-right presidential candidate Eric Zemmour with a 10,000 euro fine for racist hate speech after he called unaccompanied child migrants "thieves, murderers and rapists."
Zemmour’s comments during a debate on CNews, a conservative French news channel in September 2020 sparked outrage. After the insult, he added: “That’s all they are. We should send them back.”
