A speech that does not pass. The New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) is the target of an investigation for advocating terrorism, announced the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, in the program “Quotidien” on TMC, Tuesday October 10. In question, the press release released by the far-left party a few hours after the Hamas attack against Israel.
In it, the NPA asserted “its support for the Palestinians and the means of struggle that they have chosen to resist.” He also stated that “The Israeli strategy, called the ‘lawn mower’, actually consists of physically and regularly eliminating new generations of activists and opponents of the occupation, in an endless cycle of repetition.” “This time, the offensive is on the side of the resistance.” And to conclude thus: “Intifada!”
The national center for the fight against online hatred of the Paris prosecutor’s office contacted the criminal brigade of the Paris judicial police. The Minister of the Interior added, without specifying, having done “several reports” to justice for similar facts.
Philippe Poutou reacted immediately to the opening of the investigation. “Selling weapons to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, countries known for financing international Islamist terrorism, doesn’t that amount to advocating terrorism?”writes the leader of the NPA on “to Darmanin, to all warmongers, militarists, friends of dictatorships, more or less committed fascists”.
