French Far-Right Leader Le Pen Denies Racial Discrimination in France

"I don’t believe there is racial discrimination in our country" but "major social discrimination," she said on RTL. To support her argument, she explains: "When we implemented anonymous CVs, we realized that young people of foreign origin were less hired in companies than when the CV was not anonymous."

And she concludes: "So it’s false, it’s a lie, because again, we are in an approach that aims to create victims in order to obtain the benefit of positive discrimination".

While the leader says she "agrees with the president" who declared on Sunday, June 14, that "the Republic will not erase any trace or any name from its history" and "will not remove any statue," Marine Le Pen still believes that Emmanuel Macron was not "able to protect the French in this area".

"In reality, this government has accompanied this process of communitarianism and it continues to do so, since the solutions it proposes are ethnic statistics," denounced the RN president.
