فرنسا: غضب لتصريحات وزير الداخلية بنفي تساوي الحضارات

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

أثارت تصريحات وزير الداخلية الفرنسي والمسؤول عن حقيبة الهجرة الوزارية "كلود غيان" حول أن ليست جميع الحضارات على درجة واحدة من المساواة استنكار قطاع كبير من السياسيين ورموز المجتمع.

فقد صرّح أثناء لقاء عقدته له مجموعة يمينية بأن "فرنسا" تقدم الحضارات التي تحترم الأخوة الإنسانية والحرية والمساواة المطلقة، على تلك التي تقدم الرجل على المرأة وتدعم الكراهية العرقية.

وقد أشار المعلقون إلى أن تصريحات "غيان" العنصرية المناهضة للأجانب تأتي في محاولة "ساركوزي" التودد لليمين ومناصري حزب الجبهة القومية قبيل الانتخابات الرئاسية المقبلة. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

French Interior Minister Claude Gueant, who also holds the immigration portfolio, caused political uproar by claiming that not all civilisations are equal, with some more advanced than others.

"Contrary to what the left's relativist ideology says, for us all civilisations are not of equal value," Gueant on Saturday told a conference in the French parliament building, but closed to the media.

"Those which defend humanity seem to us to be more advanced than those that do not," he argued in his speech at a meeting organised by a right-wing students group.

"Those which defend liberty, equality and fraternity, seem to us superior to those which accept tyranny, the subservience of women, social and ethnic hatred," he went on his speech, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.

He stressed the need to "protect our civilisation."

The interior minister's comments provoked a torrent of criticism from the opposition and on the Internet, less than three months a head of a French presidential election.

The left denounced his speech as an attempt by President Nicolas Sarkozy to woo the far-right National Front voters ahead of the presidential election.

The Young Socialist Movement condemned Gueant's "xenophobic and racist" speech, while the minister's entourage attempted to dismiss his comments as merely condemning those who practise repression and inequality.

On his Twitter account Harlem Desir, the number two in the French Socialist Party, slammed "the pitiful provocation from a minister reduced to a mouthpiece for the FN (far-right National Front party)".
