The far-right polemicist Eric Zemmour is considered by many to be a danger to democracy. Between his conviction for provocation to racial discrimination, his revisionist statements, his attempt to rehabilitate the Vichy regime, his assertions that General Petain saved Jews, or his repeated sexist remarks, Zemmour seems to have enough to worry many. Yet, when looking at the perception of French people through the prism of their education level, it appears that the higher the degree, the stronger the perception of danger. Indeed, more than three out of five people among French people who obtained a diploma at the end of high school and after consider Zemmour to be dangerous for democracy, against only 39 percent among those without a diploma.
