Mayor Reported For Hate Crime After Saying Being French Means Being European

An anti-racism group in France has announced that is it taking legal action against a National Front mayor after he told journalists that being French means being “European, white, and Catholic”.

Robert Ménard, mayor of the southern French town of Béziers, has repeatedly made headlines for his nationalist rhetoric and tough stance on migrant crime.

Now he has hit the headlines again, telling French news channel LCI that being French means, “in the words of Charles De Gaulle, being European, white and Catholic”.

He was quoting from a 1959 speech by General de Gaulle, former President of France, on Algerian independence, in which he said:

“It is very good that there are yellow French, black French, brown French. They show that France is open to all races and has a universal vocation. But [it is good] on condition that they remain a small minority. Otherwise, France would no longer be France. We are still primarily a European people of the white race, Greek and Latin culture, and the Christian religion.

“Those who advocate integration have the brain of a hummingbird.
