“I’m afraid there will be spillovers.” As the lineup for France-Morocco this Wednesday in the World Cup semifinals approaches, the extreme right sings the same refrain. BFMTV-RMC guest, Jordan Bardella is no exception to the rule.
“Every time there are matches with teams from the Maghreb – it’s true with Morocco, but it’s also true with Algeria – we have, every time, some fans that let themselves overflow and are intolerable,” said the president of the National Association.
“These clashes must be condemned”
According to him, “some Moroccan fans” are “more inhabited by a feeling of revenge against France than by a spirit of sport, of play, of sporting encounter”. “And that’s detrimental,” Jordan Bardella continues.
“It is harmful because every time there are clashes. These clashes must be condemned.”
The MEP insists: “I remind you that there have been 40 policemen who have been injured in the last few days after the match between Portugal and Morocco”, he said.
“30 years of failed immigration policy”
And to the question: “Can you imagine in Morocco, in Algeria, tens of hundreds of thousands of French fans, every time there is a sporting event with France, walking through the streets, shouting, breaking windows, attacking the police?
For Jordan Bardella, “we are paying for 30 years of failure of immigration policy and in particular of assimilation.”
“You have a generation that has reached adulthood, that is 20, 25, 30 years old and that behaves in France […] like the national of a foreign state constantly expressing a feeling of revenge”, he laments.
For Wednesday’s party, the far-right elect invites “to ensure that the security system is respected, especially on the main avenues.”
On Sunday at noon, Éric Zemmour had declared on the set of BFM Politique that Wednesday night is, according to his contacts, “a big scare for the police”, adding that “in general” the night “will be a party”. “I would like to know how the King of Morocco and the Moroccans would react if thousands of French people celebrated his victory in Marrakech. I think they would feel a little dispossessed of their country”, added the president of Reconquista.
