"The opposition parties have concluded a Faustian pact with the RN"

In a column published on Facebook, the former Minister of the Interior recalls the murder, 26 years ago in Marseille, of Frenchman Ibrahim Ali by poster painters of the National Front, "for his skin color".

“Certainly there have been cosmetic touch-ups, the name has changed, the logo has softened and the father's excesses have been replaced by the daughter's muddled unpreparedness, but let's not be mistaken: 26 years later, history stutters, "writes Christophe Castaner.

"If the National Rally is trying to redeem a virtue, it is because it has externalized violence. Generation Identitaire is its active fame," he adds of the group which will be dissolved by the government.

However, deplores the former Minister of the Interior, "the opposition parties have concluded a Faustian pact with the RN" consisting in focusing on LREM.

"Sad political disorder to see, in recent weeks, instead of criticizing the RN, right and left to spare it, to spare it and to attack those who fight it."

He believes that the majority is fighting the RN by trying to convince its voters, in particular "by refusing taboo subjects", "including themes which, through cowardice, the right and the left have let become the monopolies" of the far right party.

This forum comes at a time when a controversy broke out over an "Islamo-leftism" in academic research, which the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin discussed with Marine Le Pen on France 2 and that the government has just voted for his project of law said on separatism, at the end of heated debates.
