		</div><p>A far-right former TV pundit with multiple hate-speech convictions is poised to officially enter the race for France’s presidency.</p>
<p>Eric Zemmour has already shaken up the race with his anti-immigration and anti-Islam invective.</p>
<p>Supporters said the essayist, who has climbed in the polls despite having no hands-on political experience, will announce his candidacy around midday.</p>
<p>The 63-year-old polemicist, who has sometimes been likened in France to former US president Donald Trump, would be running in the April election against the as-yet undeclared incumbent Emmanuel Macron and a spectrum of other candidates from far-left to far-right.</p>
<p>The expected launch would make official a campaign that has been gathering steam for months, but which has also stumbled of late – notably after Mr Zemmour raised a middle finger at a woman who did likewise to him last weekend.</p>
<p>He later acknowledged on Twitter that the obscene gesture was “very inelegant”.</p>
<p>The flash of temper cast fresh doubt on the temperament and presidential credentials of the author and former journalist who has been compared to Mr Trump because of his rabble-rousing populism and ambitions of making the jump from the small screen to a seat of power.</p>
