Gérald Darmanin accused Thursday, August 4, a deputy from La France insoumise of “

defending

” a preacher from the North whose Minister of the Interior had announced the expulsion to come, and demanded an “

apology

” from the party.

The LFI deputy for Roubaix-Wattrelos (David Guiraud, NLDR) who defends this imam, defends someone who has openly anti-Semitic, openly xenophobic, openly homophobic, openly anti-women statements.

He dishonors himself.

And it dishonors part of the national representation

, ”said the Minister of the Interior on CNEWS.

“Deviation of the rule of law”

Imam Iquioussen "

has nothing to do on national soil and that we can defend him in the sense of freedom of expression means to me the state of intellectual decomposition that the far left, LFI, has on this point

”, added Gérald Darmanin, claiming to wait for an “

apology

” from the party.

Gérald Darmanin announced last week the upcoming expulsion of Hassan Iquioussen, a northern preacher reputed to be close to the Muslim Brotherhood, for calls for hatred and violence against the Jewish community in particular.

In a press release published on Sunday, David Guiraud had criticized this expulsion resulting according to him "

from the act of the prince

", as a "

deviation from the rule of law

".

He said he was fighting "

the political adventure of Gérald Darmanin, which consists in wanting, in the end, to impose the double penalty in France

", while affirming: "

I am not in solidarity with homophobic or anti-Semitic remarks and I will never be.

".

Why did France not use the legal tools at its disposal to condemn reprehensible remarks dating from several years ago?

Why outsource justice to other states?

asked the deputy.

The departmental commission for the expulsion of foreigners from the North had given a favorable opinion on the expulsion of Hassan Iquioussen on June 22.

Born in France, he had French nationality, until he renounced it at his majority, according to him under the influence of his father.
