The Minister of the City Julien Denormandie announces Sunday in the Parisian new "testings" in companies in order to detect discrimination, the day after demonstrations against police violence and racism across France.
"We must fight against discrimination on a daily basis," said the minister, citing in particular the first testings organized by the government which had enabled "to pin seven companies out of the forty tested".
Obliging real estate agencies to train against discrimination
The testing consists in sending for the same job offer two identical CVs with as unique differences the origin of the candidate and / or an address in a popular district. Julien Denormandie also announces the imminent arrival of a decree obliging "all real estate agencies and professional associations to undergo training in the fight against discrimination" every three years.
Finally, Julien Denormandie advocates the deletion of the word "race" from the preamble to the Constitution, which states that "every human being, without distinction of race, religion or belief, has inalienable and sacred rights".
Sunday morning, in the columns of the JDD, another minister, Gabriel Attal, worries about "fatal forces" who would seek to prosper on the resentment of the youth to "impose a race struggle". The minister also calls for "a collective effort to save the youngest" in the face of the economic crisis, and indicates that the sustainability of the civic reserve set up during the Covid crisis could be one avenue.
