 Separatism: Jean-Christophe Cambadélis denounces "the libanization of minds"

Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, who with his New Society movement conspires to replace the Socialist Party by a new union of the left for the presidential election of 2022, reacts in Le Point this Sunday, October 11 to the measures announced by Emmanuel Macron against the separatism, especially Islamic. 

For the former first secretary of the PS, "The speech was well made. But it was thought of at the Elysee in a communication sequence seeking to reinstall the president as a unifier." However, it then became "a pretext": "Separatism is read as stigmatizing, while the speech was intended on the unity of the Republic. 

So, we decided to change the title of the law by exfiltrating separatism in profit from secularism. This gives the latter a role that it should not have. "

For Cambadélis, this speech is part of Emmanuel Macron's strategy to capture the right-wing electorate. "Macron, to build his candidacy, tried to embody a new liberal progressivism in economics and liberal on social issues. So, he was opposed to Valls and the rebels, it was not stupid.

Then, with the support of Bayrou, he sang the “neither right nor left” then “and right and left”. Finally, coming to power, he tries a takeover on the right which has worked for Europeans, "he observes. He believes that Macron will seek to" dry up "the historic right for the next presidential election." This is the role of Gérald Darmanin. We are therefore witnessing the resumption of all the classics of the right and the far right: insecurity, identity, immigration and nods to Villiers or Zemmour. "

Despite these criticisms, the socialist regrets that the left is not united in the face of the challenges represented by separatism.

"In the name of the defense of Muslims, which is to say the least honorable, men and women of the left refuse to see that there is a fundamentalist sectarian current placing faith above the law", he declares . "They refuse to understand the danger, in the moment of Republican disintegration that we are living. It is not a question of the great replacement, but of the lebanization of the spirits." For him, "we must therefore come back to the Republic which places the French of culture - the most numerous - or of Muslim religion under its protection.

Because they are the object of a double separatism, between those who, in the name of faith, want them to break with the Republic and those who, in the name of French identity, demand that they leave the Republic. "
