The press release fell this Thursday evening.

Philippe Grosvalet, president of the Loire-Atlantique department, has decided to file a complaint against editorialist Eric Zemmour for his comments about unaccompanied minor migrants [a subject that falls within the competence of departmental councils].

"The words he held on a television set [CNews] are abject and racist," explains Philippe Grosvalet.

They constitute a real incitement to hatred which is intolerable and which affects minors for whom the Loire-Atlantique department has been entrusted with the supervision.

As such, our community will file a complaint against this repeat offender, already convicted of insult.

"

"We must not let them in," says Zemmour

"All unaccompanied minors are not thieves, but the responsibility of France and the government is not to take the risk," the polemicist had launched Tuesday evening on the CNews set.

And so as long as there is one ... We must not let them in because that means a rapist, a thief, a murderer ... potential, who persecute the French.

"I especially want to testify that the unaccompanied minors taken care of by the Loire-Atlantique department show a strong desire for integration," continues Philippe Grosvalet.

I also appeal to the responsibility of the television channel, which must firmly condemn his words and ensure that this character can no longer continue to attack women and men on his sets.
