In less than 24 hours and three media appearances, Robert Ménard practice fumigation. A he stuck Muslim children in public schools in Béziers? Yesterday was yes. Today, it is not.
At a press conference on Tuesday, May 5 at City Hall, the chosen states, loudly, that “n ‘ there is no file, no computer record in the town hall of Beziers. ” Mayor extreme right balance of Beziers, confident that “this controversy has at least the merit of reviving the debate on ethnic statistics”. And retorted: “The left has no lesson to teach me.” The art of maintaining blur and move the “debate.”
To understand the variations of Robert Ménard elected through its alliance with the National Front, just to review, in the order Chronological, the outputs of biterrois Mayor
# Monday night. Robert Ménard’s admission
According to Robert Ménard, guest on the program “Crossword”, on Monday, May 5 France 2, two thirds of children in Béziers are Muslim.
Obviously, such a precise statistic has not gone unnoticed. “Robert Ménard said there was 64.9% of Muslim children in Béziers. But it keeps them from which these statistics?” Asks a visitor. . A question which is taken by one of the chroniclers of the show
The mayor of Béziers answered without blinking:
These are the figures of my town. Sorry to tell you that the mayor names, class by class, children. The names say confessions, we must not deny the evidence. I know I have no right, but it does. “
What to include? Robert Ménard admits that there is therefore, at the town hall Béziers “numbers” and has the names of the children.
This is denominational statistics. They have nothing to do with the ethnic statistics, since religion not an original. We can not be of Muslim origin nor Catholic.
In France, there is no official data on religious affiliation in the metropolitan area except in Alsace-Moselle, where the Concordat in force since the 1872 census
Children stuck in Beziers. “l obsession of the far right “
# Tuesday morning: the beginning of the confused
The city hall Beziers reacted strongly Tuesday morning and said he had “never made files of children attending public schools in the city.” She stresses, however, that there is a “file listing the public school students of the city [directed by] National Education”.
However, Hall said nothing about the fact that Robert Ménard could see such a list of students to carry out its own statistics based on students’ names.
Guest of BFMTV / RMC Tuesday morning, the mayor of Béziers starts clearing the field. To the question “do you post the children according to their confession?” Robert Ménard exchange speech: “I try to know the truth.” New Questions “? How do you How the city is organized you have lists of children going to school?” And there, Robert Ménard boot into touch. “You come in the penitentiary in Beziers, and you will see how there are people who Maghreb or black African origin”
But the mayor Beziers loose anyway:
We have established any list, we tried to find out what it is in schools. Two-thirds of children who attend public schools in kindergarten and primary children are from immigrant. I think it’s too much. “
What to understand? This is the beginning of the muddle.
The Mayor Béziers comes to the rescue of its mayor. She says there any files of school children in the city. It argues that the only file that exists is that of Education. By cons, it does not specify Robert Ménard how could leave such a precise percentage.. 64.9% of the Muslim confession of children
The mayor of Béziers, he will not even answer the question to better the flow controversy that is being born, he prefers to talk about the ethnic origin of the prisoners of the penitentiary center of Béziers.
It ensures not having established any list but says that “two thirds of children” attending public schools in kindergarten and primary, which are supported by the town hall, “are children of immigrant”.
Robert Ménard contradicts and even change the nature of his statistics. These are not children of “Muslim”, but children “immigrant”. To better forget her about the day before.
“The numbers are completely wrong Menard”
# Tuesday afternoon: the cons-attack Robert Ménard
While four police officers raided the town of Beziers, Robert Ménard gives a press conference in his office. The elected under investigation, reaffirms that “there are no FILING” for students.
Robert Ménard says it reserves to justice his explanations on the methodology used to arrive the figure of “64.6%” Muslim students. “The left has no lesson to teach me.”
“This controversy has the merit of reopening the debate on ethnic statistics’, launches the extreme-right mayor. Remember, some of its effect, Prime Minister Manuel Valls, then deputy mayor of Evry, in late 2009 announced its intention to file a bill along those lines. And adds: “? When Martine Aubry says that there is 35% of North Africans in Lille and it’s great, she knows how”
What must be understood Robert Ménard against attack to better shift the debate. The far-right mayor suddenly evacuated the question on its methodology to achieve the specific figure of “64.9%”.
Robert Ménard blames “the left”, making believe that only this political family blames him. Robert Ménard forget that right also condemns, if true, the “methods” of the mayor of Béziers.
