Marine Le Pen said Thursday that the veiled mother who will file a complaint after being taken to task by a RN elected during a school trip to the Regional Council of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, was "an activist".
"Everything says that she is an activist in reality because no (...) journalist managed to contact her and that the first interview she gives is through a structure (?) very close to the Muslim Brotherhood "and who" defends a radical vision of Islam ", declared on Europe 1 the president of the National Rally.
The mother veiled taken part Friday by the elected RN Julien Odoul has decided to file a complaint in Dijon and Paris, announced Wednesday the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF). "Today, I have a negative opinion of what is called the Republic," said the woman in an interview with the CCIF, which hears with other associations to take civil action with him.
Julien Odoul, member of the national office of the RN (extended direction) and president of the group RN at the regional assembly, had asked in session that this mother of Muslim student withdraws its veil, by evoking in a tweet the attack on the prefecture police station. The controversy has since ceased to swell, causing a stir up within the majority.
"I found this interpellation rough and certainly clumsy even if, on the bottom, (Mr. Odoul) asked the right question," commented Marine Le Pen.
The right-wing leader said she "agrees" with the Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer, who does not consider it "not desirable" the wearing of the veil on school outings "marker of the radicalism of the Islam "according to her. The RN wants to extend the law of 2004, which prohibits the wearing of religious symbols at school, to "all public space".
Marine Le Pen considered that "nobody does amalgam" mentioned by Emmanuel Macron, who called on Wednesday not to "stigmatize" Muslims, denouncing a "fatal shortcut" between the fight against terrorism and Islam.
"All those who denounce Islamism denounce, not the religion, but the will through a radicality of this religion, to impose a political agenda", she argued, judging "worrying" that Mr Macron takes no "decision" in this respect.
