Shops "hallal-stamped", cafes "mostly reserved for men, by an unwritten but rigorously applied law", or even "veiled women, more and more numerous".
The first extracts from Eric Zemmour's next book, unveiled this Thursday by Le Figaro Magazine, did not fail to react in Seine-Saint-Denis.
The department is quoted several times in the book "France has not said its last word" of the possible future presidential candidate.
Eric Zemmour goes so far as to compare Seine-Saint-Denis to one of "these foreign enclaves
(which)
live under the reign of Allah and the drug bosses who ensure order and everyday life. ".
He also evokes a “religious colonization
(which)
entails a visual colonization which entails a colonization of souls.
That's the point.
"
"His only project is to divide the French, to fracture society"
Words that boiled the president (PS) of the departmental council, Stéphane Troussel: “While we already knew Mr. Zemmour as a hate columnist, we are now discovering him as the gravedigger of the Republic.
Or rather as the chief puppet of all those whose only project is to divide the French, to fracture society, ”said the elected representative of La Courneuve.
In a press release published this Friday, Stéphane Troussel said he had “no lessons to receive from someone who fantasizes about a territory and inhabitants he does not know;
he who has surely never set foot in this department and whose only goal is to profit from the hatred that his words arouse.
"
Factual error, because Eric Zemmour, born in Montreuil, spent his childhood in Drancy (which was then part of the Seine department, before the creation of Seine-Saint-Denis in 1968). The journalist's family then moved, when he was a teenager in the 1970s, to the Château-Rouge district in Paris (18th century).
Whatever.
Stéphane Troussel “reserves the right to lodge a complaint, on behalf of the Department, against Mr. Zemmour, whom I recall that he has, in the past, already been convicted several times for racial discrimination and religious hatred.
"He was also present at the hearing at the Paris judicial court which was held on Wednesday against Eric Zemmour, for" incitement to racial hatred "and" racist public insults "after the latter's remarks on the unaccompanied foreign minors.
The Department of Seine-Saint-Denis had brought a civil action.
The trial was eventually postponed.
In the entourage of the president of the departmental council, one says "to wait to receive the work with its exit", on September 16, to consider the legal consequences to be given.
