The French Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, caused an outcry on Tuesday, at the microphone of BFMTV, by making a parallel between the Maghreb and the fraud to social assistance …
“Our compatriots are fed up with the fraud” and “have no desire to see that people can benefit from it, send it back to the Maghreb or elsewhere, when they are not entitled,” he launched the microphone of the continuous information chain.
On social networks, the reactions have multiplied, denouncing a stigma of the Maghrebians, while the deputy LFI (La France Insoumise), Thomas Portes, denounces “vomiting” remarks which show that “Jean-Marie Le Pen is very alive”.
In the Muslim militant environment, the reactions were also numerous in the face of the reasoning of Bruno Le Maire.
For the former director of the collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), Marwan Muhammad, “when the government is faced with his social injustice and his contempt for the people, he accuses the Maghrebians of taking advantage of the CAF (Family Allowance Fund),” he said.
The French government announced its plan on Tuesday to combat tax and social fraud. At BFM TV microphones, the Minister of Economy and Finance did not hesitate to point the French and foreigners living in France and from the Maghreb.
