Dominique De Villepin Warns Against Treating French People Based On Their Origins

Former French Prime Minister Dominique De Villepin, a prospective candidate for the upcoming presidential elections, criticized the discrimination practiced against French people of non-French origins (Algerians and North Africans in general) by some right-wing and far-right politicians. He specifically mentioned the leader of the “National Rally” party, Jordan Bardella, who blamed young people of immigrant backgrounds for those events.

In a tweet on his “X” platform account on Friday, de Villepin addressed the leader of the far-right party, saying: “When you attribute the violence that followed Paris Saint-Germain’s victory (in the European Champions League) to ‘immigration,’ who exactly do you mean? Do you mean foreigners? Or those French people who were born here, grew up here, and were educated here, but whose names, neighborhoods, skin color, or presumed religion are enough, in your view, to make them suspicious?”
