After the unanimous condemnation of the political class, Gilbert Montagné reacted to Éric Zemmour's remarks on the education of disabled children.
“The stupidity is to think that these people have to put them in places where they are among themselves, like that, it doesn't bother anyone.
As if we were disturbing”,
declared the blind singer on the antenna of BFMTV.

Denouncing an
“obsession with inclusion”
, the nationalist candidate declared Friday, during a discussion with teachers in Honnecourt-sur-Escaut in the North, “
that we need specialized establishments, except for people with slight disabilities obviously. For the rest, yes, I think that the obsession with inclusion is a bad way for other children and for those children, who are the poor, completely overwhelmed by other children. So I think we need specialized teachers who take care of it
, ”he said.
“Of course not, answers the blind singer.
It is obvious that in certain situations, the children may prefer to be in specialized institutions, I have nothing against these institutions, but it must represent only a minority.
We have to be by your side and vice versa.”
"S
egregation
"
Reactions were also strong in associations, like the national president of the Association for adults and young people with disabilities, Jean-Louis Garcia, who was still moved on BFMTV by what he considers to be a "
segregation
”, a “
set apart
”. The president of the Association for taking disability into account in public and private policies (APHPP), Matthieu Annereau, who is also a local LREM elected official and blind, estimated that "
the exclusion of 12 million people with disabilities in France mentioned by Mr. Zemmour (was) deeply nauseating
”.
Facing the bronca, Éric Zemmour qualified his remarks on Saturday morning in Villers-Cotterêts (Aisne) and spoke directly to parents of disabled children via a video posted on Twitter at the end of the day.
