Prime Minister Gabriel Attal delivered an accusation against the rebellious deputies, accused of being
“gravediggers”
of secularism on Wednesday in the National Assembly.
During questions to the government, Gabriel Attal was questioned by the socialist Jérôme Guedj on the 20 years of the 2004 law against the wearing of ostensibly religious outfits or signs at school.
The PS deputy pleads for the establishment of a Defender of Secularism, based on the model of the Defender of Rights.
In response, the Prime Minister greeted those who defend secularism on the
“front line”
, school heads, teachers, political leaders.
“Secularism has its defenders everywhere in France”
and the PS group
“is one of them
,” said Gabriel Attal.
But
“secularism also has its gravediggers and I say it, including in this chamber”
, launched the Prime Minister.
“Secularism à la carte”
“A few days ago, a principal was the subject of death threats because he sought to enforce the 2004 law in his establishment by asking a student to remove her veil. He was the subject of death threats
,” denounced Gabriel Attal about the Ravel high school in Paris (20th century).
“I saw a member of La France insoumise relaying theories against this principal on social networks
,” he accused, targeting, according to his entourage, Danielle Simonnet, LFI member of the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
On the
social network
Also, an investigation must be initiated.
Did the principal hit the student?
Respect for not wearing the veil does not justify any physical violence
.
Returning to the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution on Monday in Congress, Gabriel Attal then criticized the head of LFI deputies Mathilde Panot for not having cited among the countries which
“question women's rights, Iran , Afghanistan”
, the countries which, by relying
“on a misguided Islamism, use religion to roll back women’s rights”
.
“There cannot be à la carte secularism
,” underlined the head of government.
Contacted, the LFI group did not immediately react.
