Dalrymple summarises Éric Zemmour’s argument:
In the 40+ years following the ‘events’ of 1968, a generation has come to power that has systematically undermined France as a cohesive country and has so weakened it by its economic and social policies that it scarcely exists as a country except as a shell of its former self. Year by year from the downfall of De Gaulle, suicidal decisions have been taken. France is dead.
