Placards with the inscription “Who?
"
At the end of the Parisian parades against the health pass on Saturday, the police prefect announced on Twitter to report anti-Semitic signs brandished by demonstrators to the courts.
The prefect had acted in application of article 40 of the code of criminal procedure, which requires any authority having knowledge of a crime or an offense to report it to justice.
In the photo accompanying the tweet, there are two signs with the inscription “Who?
".
This anti-Semitic slogan appeared on several occasions in anti-pass processions in France following an interview granted in June on the CNEWS channel to a retired general, Daniel Delawarde, signatory of a forum evoking “the disintegration” of France published by the weekly
Valeurs contemporaine
.
To the question "who controls the" media pack "?
", He replied" the community that you know well ", before being cut by the presenter, Jean-Marc Morandini.
A teacher, former member of the National Front and former local elected official, who demonstrated last Saturday in Metz with this slogan on a sign, accompanied by the names of politicians, businessmen and intellectuals for the most part Jewish, will be tried in September for provoking racial hatred.
