“We are in the context of a pandemic and therefore we must take precautions,” said Val-de-Marne deputy Louis Boyard on Wednesday. But the elected Nupes did not refer to the seventh wave of Covid-19 in which France currently finds itself. No, Louis Boyard speaks of “a pandemic of racism, a pandemic of anti-Semitism, a pandemic of Islamophobia! “, linked to the rise of the National Rally.
“How come what was abnormal 20 years ago is normal today? Where are the statesmen and women who, like Jacques Chirac and Simone Weil, never compromised either with racism or with anti-Semitism? “, he questioned. Continuing on his spun metaphor, Louis Boyard declared: “I remain faithful to my principles. Faced with the National Rally, I respect the barrier gestures. “He thus invited the French and the President of the Republic” not to shake hands with the National Rally “.
