Thousands rally against racism in Paris suburb to defend mayor
"We come to state firmly and definitively our visceral attachment to the values of the Republic embodied by those who are heirs of immigration, said Bagayoko."
"A sickening wave of racism coming from the political and media elites who, without reservation, without restraint, have displayed their contempt for a part of our people, denounced LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchon."
"If there is one minister who should have been there, it is her, said Bagayoko regarding the absence of the government's minister against discrimination."
"The normalization of evil and racism was denounced by Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu following the campaign against Bagayoko."
A large demonstration took place in Saint-Denis, Paris, to denounce racism following disparaging remarks aimed at newly elected Mayor Bally Bagayoko. Bagayoko, of Malian descent, was targeted by racist disinformation shortly after his election. The protest featured music bands, trade unions, and associations, emphasizing a commitment to the values of the Republic. Bagayoko criticized institutions for their complicity in racism, while LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchon condemned the political and media elites for their contempt. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu condemned the normalization of racism, and Bagayoko filed a legal complaint against a television channel for offensive comments.
