In this pre -electoral period, all blows are allowed. Marine Le Pen does not seem to want to miss any opportunity to go up to the niche and give in xenophobia. The president of the National Front throws a pavement in the pond by declaring that “all of the meat which is distributed in Ile-de-France, without the knowledge of the consumer, is exclusively halal meat. “The daughter of Jean Marie Le Pen does not intend to be satisfied with the denunciation, she plans to initiate legal proceedings for” deception on the goods. »»
This escalation in the most odious racism aroused some reactions including that of the Ministry of Agriculture which wanted to bring a denial today to the purpose of the president of the FN. The ministry’s press release specifies that the meat “distributed in Ile-de-France does not come exclusively from Ile-de-France slaughterhouses, because there are very few (…) it comes from the Rungis march, where meats come from all over France. Such an answer should calm the xenophobic ardors of Marine Le Pen, always on the lookout for facts likely to fruit his detestable business.
