Description: (Journalist)
Édouard Adolphe Drumont was a French antisemitic journalist, author, and politician who founded the Antisemitic League of France in 1889 and established the newspaper La Libre Parole in 1892. He combined traditional Catholic views on Jews, anti-capitalist sentiments, and scientific racism to shape his antisemitic ideologies. Drumont's work was instrumental in triggering the Dreyfus Affair and his professional associations reflected a stance aligned with counter-revolutionary traditions and anti-modern Catholicism, drawing inspiration from figures such as Louis Veuillot and Antoine Blanc de Saint-Bonnet.
