The Interior Minister gets tough on anti semitism and racism

In an effort to keep local tensions from escalating even further, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has decided to remind all local prefects of their duty to report racism to the justice system so offenders can be prosecuted.
“These acts constitute such a serious threat to the founding principles of our republic and the unity of our nation that the state must demonstrate an absolute firmness,” Cazeneuve wrote in the memo sent out on Wednesday.
"In addition to preserving public order, it is also your responsibility to systematically report to the appropriate prosecutors, words and acts of a racist or anti-Semitic nature.” 
Val says - apparently on the social media sites there has been a massive rise in anti Semitic statements
since the troubles between Gaza and Israel.       Comments to taglines82@gmail.com
