Élisabeth Lévy (born 16 February 1964) is a French journalist, editor in chief of Causeur.

Biography

She was born in Marseille[1], grew up at Épinay-sur-Seine[2] and studied at Sciences Po[3] and failed to join the Ecole nationale d'administration[4]. She worked for the Agence France-Presse (AFP)[citation needed], Jeune Afrique[5], Globe[6], and supports Jean-Pierre Chevènement[7]. She joins L’Événement du jeudi, Marianne[citation needed] and after being fired by Jean-François Kahn in 1998[8] writes for Le Figaro[citation needed]. In 2002, she joins the talk show, Culture et Dépendances, of Franz-Olivier Giesbert[citation needed].

Controversies

Radio

In 2004, she was fired from the radio show, "On refait le monde" on RTL, with Pascale Clark[9]. In 2005, Le Premier Pouvoir, a programme she presented on France Culture, was cancelled.[10] Previous guests included Jean Baudrillard, accused by Bruno Latour of denying the Attacks of 11 September[11] and Peter Sloterdijk, whose speech and philosophy has been described, in 1999, as "fascistoid" by the Frankfurter Rundschau, though other publications disagreed[12].

Nouveaux réactionnaires

In 2007, she specializes also into interviewing controversial authors form the French Nouveaux réactionnaires ('new reactionaries'), not to be confused with the Neo-reaction as Maurice Dantec, Philippe Muray or Michel Houellebecq[13][citation needed]. She is included among the list of 'new reactionaries' featured in a documentary by Aude-Emilie Judaïque and Gilles Davidas[14].

Loi Gayssot

In 2019, she said the Loi Gayssot, punishing holocaust denial, does not prevent it, and establishes the idea that there is a legal privilege for the Jews and creates an inflation of memorial laws, while also making clear that she views anti-Zionism as a screen for antisemitism and that she considers that holocaust denial "should be fought through history".[15]

Kosovo war

In 2013, she contests the number of casualties by Serbians during the Kosovo War.[16]

Perceived political views

She is considered a Climate sceptic[citation needed], close to far right movements[citation needed], and invited to monarchist conferences, with Paul-Marie Coûteaux and Roland Dumas, by the Action française, though the publication Causeur, for which she wrote at the time, stated that she would never attend such an event.[17]

Great replacement

In 2017, she supports[citation needed], with Alain Finkielkraut,[18] the existence of a Great replacement, based on a conspiracy theory, theorized by Renaud Camus,[19] inspired by Jean Raspail, popularized internationally by French far right and former director of Reporters sans frontières, (RSF, Reporters without borders), Robert Ménard, and Russia Today, before Charlottesville car attack and Christchurch mosque shootings.

In Relation To Pedophilia

In 2020, she criticised public attention and new prosecutorial investigations into the misdeeds of the pedophile writer Gabriel Matzneff, noting that prosecution is not possible and that he was by then "an elderly, sick and broke writer".[20]

In 2021, after Camille Kouchner accused her step-father, Olivier Duhamel, of incest, Lévy critiqued the publication of the name of the street on which Duhamel lived, comparing this to a call to lynching and an "appetite for the guillotine".[21]
