intellectual terrorism
" by Valérie Pécresse, potential right-wing candidate for 2022.

An investigation for "public insult" and "degradation" was opened by the prosecution of Grenoble after a collage of posters Thursday at the entrance of the Institute of Political Studies (IEP) on which one could read: "
Fascists in our lecture halls.
Islamophobia kills
”, with the names of two professors of the Institute.
"
When we throw teachers into the pasture and accuse them without any proof, by putting them almost a target behind their back, I consider that it is intellectual terrorism
", lambasted Valérie Pécresse (ex-LR, Free! ), president of the Ile-de-France region, on BFMTV.
“
It is a call for denunciation that has been made.
The university must file a complaint against these students,
”insists Valérie Pécresse who assures us that“
it comes from a student union, the UNEF, which is in full swing, in the midst of sinking
”.
"
I do not forget what happened to Samuel Paty
", professor assassinated in October by a young radicalized, adds again the president of Ile-de-France who considers that "
Islamo-leftism is a reality at the university
”.
The boss of LR senators, Bruno Retailleau, also underlines, in a tweet, that it is necessary to "
strike hard
" if "
we do not want to relive a tragedy like the one that cost Samuel Paty his life
".
“
The students of Sciences Po Grenoble who threaten these professors must be dismissed and a complaint must be filed.
The accomplice unions must also be prosecuted
, ”he adds.
“
These are the methods that are fascist.
After the beheading of one of our teachers, after the threats weighing on too many of them, UNEF is knowingly endangering two teachers.
What is the next step ?
“Asks LREM MP Aurore Bergé, from the right.
The president of the National Rally Marine Le Pen denounced "
a sordid affair
" which demonstrates, according to her, "the
whole reality of a repugnant, sectarian and limitless Islamogauchism
".
"
Part of the left has sunk into what is called Islamo-leftism,
" added his lieutenant Jordan Bardella on Sunday on France Inter.
