Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin was the guest this Monday morning on La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews. At Sonia Mabrouk’s microphone, he returned to the words of Édouard Philippe, who ensures that there is a new form of racism against white people. Words shared by the first cop in France.
“There is a new form of anti-white racism.” This Sunday, former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe returned to the JDD on this sensitive subject within the French political class, against a backdrop of the Crépol drama. According to some people present at the ball where young Thomas, 16, was fatally stabbed, racist remarks against white people were said by the attackers.
“It is quite possible that there is a new form of anti-white racism, just as there is an old form of anti-black, anti-Arab or anti-Jewish racism. None of these forms of racism excuses “other. They are all absolutely condemnable”, insists Édouard Philippe. Comments shared by the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, interviewed this Monday morning on the set of La Grande interview Europe 1-CNews. “I always thought that there was racism and that it affected everyone: it affects Arabs, it affects blacks, it affects Jews, it affects the Asian community and it also affects white people “, he believes.
“Those who say the opposite are in denial”
“Racism, by nature, is the fear of otherness, it is the refusal of otherness and it is the hatred of otherness. Obviously there are some against white people “, he adds, ensuring that he has seen it at work during these years as a local elected official.
And “those who say the opposite are in denial”, he adds: “I was a local elected official for a very long time. As mayor, I saw, in particular, racism which affected North Africans, who affected black people and which obviously also affected white people. And not to say (that this racism exists, editor’s note), is not to tell the truth”, judges the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories.
