On the antennas of Europe1 and CNews on Friday morning, the RN candidate for the presidential election returned to the remarks of Emmanuel Macron during the debate between the two rounds, when the latter affirmed that the ban on wearing the veiling in public places could lead to a “civil war”.
Invited to Europe1 and CNews on Friday morning, the RN candidate for the presidential election returned to Emmanuel Macron’s statement during the debate between the two rounds – and during his trip to Saint-Denis on Thursday – who affirmed that a ban on the wearing of the veil could lead to a “civil war”. She felt that the president-candidate’s remarks “are very insulting to Muslims”.
“Emmanuel Macron changes position by opportunity”
For Marine Le Pen, Emmanuel Macron plays the “at the same time” card on the question of wearing the veil. “I remember him saying that the veil poses a problem of civility. I remember his minister Jean-Michel Blanquer saying that the veil has nothing to do in France… so he is changing his position today by opportunity,” she said.
“This talk [de guerre civile] is extremely insulting, not to me, but to Muslims. Because he would like to say that if we put in place a law that would ban the veil, it would lead to riots. So that a certain number of French people of the Muslim faith would be ready to enter into secession with the law and would refuse to submit to it, “continued the RN candidate. “And I don’t believe it, I trust them.
“An inflation of women who wear the veil”
Regarding her program, Marine Le Pen also recalled that the question of wearing the veil “is only a very small part of her project”. “The word veil is not in my project. The objective of this law is the fight against Islamism because that is what has sparked terrorism in our territory,” said the RN candidate.
“And within the framework of this bill, I consider that the Islamists are putting unacceptable pressure on women and forcing them. What we have observed in our country for ten years is an inflation of women who bear the veil. And those who do not wear it are isolated, set aside and judged. And that, in France, on national territory in 2022, I cannot accept it.
