Looting, fires, firing of fireworks… Paris and its suburbs, like other cities in France, were shaken for the third consecutive night, after the death of Nahel on Tuesday in Nanterre, a 17-year-old minor killed by a police officer who was indicted and imprisoned for intentional homicide. 667 people were arrested overnight from Thursday to Friday, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced. According to Éric Zemmour, president of Reconquête, guest of Europe 1 Matin Friday, “we are in the prodromes of a civil war”.
“If I had been in power, I would have stopped immigration first”
“It’s an ethnic, racial war, we can see the forces involved. I think it takes someone determined and firm. If I had been in power, I would have first stopped the I would have stopped the flows, I would have suppressed jus soli, I would have stopped family reunification, I would have limited students to almost nothing, I would have expelled delinquents, criminals at the end of their sentence, the unemployed for more than six months, everything I proposed during the presidential election,” he said.
“All French people see what the product of crazy immigration has been for 40 years”
The violence, which erupted across the country last night, recalls the riots that engulfed all of France in 2005 following the deaths of Zyed and Bouna. For Éric Zemmour, the situation is more serious than in 2005. “In 2005, only the suburbs were affected. There, all of France is affected, from Paris to small medium-sized towns. Why are they affected? Because since 20 years, we distributed immigrants. It is the policy of distribution of immigrants throughout France that means that all French people are affected today by these riots. All French people see what the product of “crazy immigration for 40 years”, assured the president of the Reconquest party before adding. “I think the French understand better why I got into the presidential battle last year.”
“The forces of order have orders not to go into contact”
“The police are overwhelmed and I think they have orders not to make contact. I know it. We are afraid of the reactions, we are afraid that there will be deaths, we are afraid that “There are clashes that degenerate. It’s a success, but at what price? The state gives in, the state goes down,” he lamented.
“This young man was no angel”
By declaring “inexplicable” and “inexcusable” the death of the teenager, “even though justice had not decided”, Emmanuel Macron “went to bed”. “I recall that when Mr. Hanouna, for the death of little Lola, had said that rapid justice was needed, Mr. Dupond-Moretti had mounted his high horses and had given him a lesson in justice. I am waiting let him do the same to the President of the Republic”, continued Éric Zemmour.
“We are always sad when a young man dies, even if, I would like to say that this young man was not an angel, as Kylian Mbappé said. The angel had spots on his wings. At 17, he already had a strong criminal record,” said the former presidential candidate. According to information from Europe 1, Nahel was known for 15 mentions in the criminal history file and had been implicated five times for refusals to comply since 2021.
