INTERVIEW
A big march against Islamophobia will start Sunday at 13 hours from the Gare du Nord in Paris. If all the parties of the right and the majority have clearly denounced this initiative, discomfort reigns in the ranks of the left. For Christiane Taubira on the other hand, invited by Patrick Cohen Sunday morning, the sentence is clear. "We are completely wrong and we are absolutely wrong answer," she said on Europe 1.
"Why convoke secularism?"
In the week, several personalities who had initially signed the forum published in Liberation have withdrawn, due in particular to the proximity of some organizers with the Muslim Brotherhood, and a sentence that presents the laws on religious signs as liberticides. An "extravagant" presentation according to the former Minister of Justice. "Why call laïcité? Laïcité is not the business of believers, it is the business of power," she said.
The former justice minister lamented acts that target Muslims "more and more openly". "One must be inflexible against these acts, and in my opinion, it is not the secularism that must be summoned in these cases, it is the indivisible Republic." And to conclude: "It is she who is put in danger."
