Gérard Depardieu: “I am ashamed of being French”

While some embittered French politicians are not resigned to losing “French Algeria” and that others still day-dream, as many of them do not know that “Algeria of Dad, it’s over.”

But the latter are unanimous in wantonly attacking Algeria which snatched its freedom and independence after untold sacrifices, including a million and a half million glorious Martyrs.

However, there are other well-meaning French people who respect us, to the image of the renowned star of French cinema, namely Gerard Depardieu who declared he is ashamed of being French because of the immense suffering inflicted on the Algerians by the French colonial yoke in Algeria.

In a speech on the sidelines of a film, of which he is the hero, at the Fortnight event of film directors, the famous French actor Gerard Depardieu asserted he felt “ashamed to be French,” because of the appalling suffering caused by France in both Algeria and Indochina. 

“It’s so nice to share or simply point to what has been suffered by all these Algerians and all those people who were forcibly sent to Indochina,” said the French actor in Cannes (Southern France).
