For Jean-Michel Blanquer, today in France there is a form of
“intellectual complicity in terrorism”
.
"Our society has been far too permeable to currents of thought, to actors,"
lamented the Minister of National Education Thursday, October 22 on Europe 1, while he returned to the assassination of the history teacher, Samuel Paty, in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.
In his viewfinder:
"Islamo-leftism"
which
"is wreaking havoc
.
"
"Societal phenomenon"
Jean-Michel Blanquer notably cited the UNEF.
The student union has, according to him,
"given in to this type of thing".
He also pointed to the responsibility of La France Insoumise.
"You have in their ranks people who are quite simply of this current, and who display themselves as such"
, he denounced, targeting the movement of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
In mid-October at the National Assembly, the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin had already criticized LFI for this.
"I cannot understand why a party like yours, which for a long time denounced the opium of the people, is now linked with an Islamo-leftism which is destroying the Republic", he declared.
For Jean-Michel Blanquer, this movement
"favors an ideology which then, from time to time, obviously leads to the worst"
.
The Minister of National Education also returned to incidents related to the subject of secularism at school.
Again Monday in Toulouse, a student insulted and threatened a teacher while the latter raised the issue of the veil in a civic education course on equality between women and men.
The student has since been indicted.
“This is not an isolated fact.
The reporting system that we have set up has enabled us to identify just over 900 of this type over the last school year, ”
he explained.
“It's a social phenomenon.
The educational institution must have reactions to the height, which happens most of the time but not always.
That's why we have to tackle it, ”
said Jean-Michel Blanquer.
