Macron slammed for claim France faces 'first' racial hate crime

Original: Incredible statement from Macron. The Jews killed by Merah because they were Jews, the Whites killed because they were w

President Emmanuel Macron is facing sharp criticism after stating that France is witnessing the first crimes of racial or religious hatred. Critics, including commentators on the right, argue the statement erases earlier attacks: the 2012 Toulouse shootings by Mohamed Merah, in which Jewish children and a teacher were killed because they were Jewish, and the Bataclan massacre of 2015. Many say those victims were targeted for their religion or identity, making Macron's framing historically inaccurate.

Why now: Macron's statement was perceived as dismissing prior religiously and racially motivated attacks, sparking immediate backlash.

• Incredible statement from Macron. The Jews killed by Merah because they were Jews, the Whites killed because they were white at the Bataclan (it's documented) don't count, then, the President claims that we're witnessing the first racial or religious hate crime.
