For Frédéric Potier, the interministerial delegate to the fight against racism, invited Sunday of Europe 1, the march against Islamophobia organized Sunday in Paris responds in part to a "political agenda".

INTERVIEW

A great march against Islamophobia will start Sunday at 13 hours, from the forecourt of the North Station in Paris. Some fifty personalities, including Yannick Jadot, Philippe Martinez, Benoit Hamon, Jean-Luc Melenchon, Edwy Plenel, Caroline de Haas, or Esther Benbassa, signed at the beginning of the month a call to protest to say stop to the "growing stigmatization" "Muslims. But since then, a certain malaise has settled around this initiative, especially in the ranks of the left, because of the affinities of some organizers with political Islam.

"I will not go.The slogan, the conditions of organization of this march are too ambiguous to be useful", explained Sunday at the microphone of Bernard Poirette, on Europe 1, Frédéric Potier, the interministerial delegate to the fight against racism, antisemitism and anti-LGBT hatred. "The text that called manifested was too vague, too ambiguous, with political backs," said the ministerial official who denounces the "political agenda" of some organizations, under the guise of fighting the fear of Islam.
