Chevènement has supported Eric Zemmour tried for incitement to racial hatred in a letter to the court where he says that more than half of the offenses are " attributable to young people whose surname is North African or African sounding .
"Mr Zemmour Doubtless there in the heat of argument, a formulation used excessively brutal but unfortunately it has not said something factually incorrect ," said the former Minister of Interior and Senator MRC Belfort in a letter dated January 3 sent to the 17th Chamber of the Court Paris Criminal [ available on the blog of Jean-Pierre Chevenement ], which began Tuesday the trial of Eric Zemmour. The journalist has been sued for defamation and incitement to racial hatred by SOS Racisme Licra, MRAP, and UEJF J'accuse. The five associations are targeting remarks March 6, 2010 on Canal + and France Ô Mr Zemmour, that " most traffickers are black and Arab, that's how it is a fact .
" Just as I had the opportunity to do so, consult the listings of the Central Public Security Ministry of the Interior, to note that over 50% of the violations found are attributable to young people whose surname is African or North African-sounding "said Jean-Pierre Chevenement. On the same line as Mr Zemmour, who told the court does not want " lie to the politically correct ," the senator said " fear that political correctness would ultimately kill the Republican debate .
He regrets that we can" blame a journalist to have advanced a argument, albeit clumsily made, but corresponding to a reality, albeit disturbing, but that leads to a decision shared awareness (...)". In the eyes of Mr. Chevenement, " freedom of expression need not be unnecessarily corseted prohibited by judicial ." This letter from the former minister, who also says " regret being unable to attend the hearing " was discussed Tuesday by the plaintiffs who wanted to see the debates aside. The trial continues Thursday and will end Friday.
