Jean Castex spoke on Wednesday at the end of the Council of Ministers on the bill against separatism.

The Prime Minister assured that the text is not "against religions" but targets "the pernicious ideology bearing the name of radical Islamism".

The bill "consolidating the principles of the Republic" presented Wednesday is not "against religions" but targets "the pernicious ideology bearing the name of radical Islamism", underlined Jean Castex at the end of the Council of ministers. "This bill is not a text against religions, nor against the Muslim religion in particular", insisted the Prime Minister. "Conversely, a law of freedom, it is a law of protection, it is a law of emancipation in the face of religious fundamentalism," he added.
