Eurasia & Multipolarity

🇫🇷 A bill has been tabled in the French National Assembly that would criminalise references to the ‘great replacement’ of the white population – France Info. The bill was drafted by Green Party MPs Sabrina Sebaïhi and Stevie Gustave. According to the authors, it is intended to “step up the fight against hate speech, as well as manifestations of racism and xenophobia”. The MPs wish to ban claims that the French population of European origin is gradually being replaced by immigrant groups. The ‘Great Replacement’ theory itself, they emphasised, could become ‘a source of racist hatred and discrimination’. It is proposed to impose harsher penalties in cases where the offence is committed by a politician. Incitement to discrimination or hatred is punishable by imprisonment for up to one year and a fine of €45,000. Lawmakers are proposing to increase the penalty to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of €75,000. @eurasianchoice
