Marion Le Pen: Algerians Ask For Criminalizing Colonialism, But Dream About France!

Youngest MP in the French National Assembly (the lower chamber of parliament), Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, followed the wave of controversy over the French colonization of Algeria, recently, by publishing, on Sunday, a tweet that sneered the Algerians who ask for criminalizing colonialism, and at the same time encourage immigration of Algerians to it.

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, wrote in a Tweet: “If the French colonization of Algeria is a crime, then why do many Algerians dream of coming to France?”, In an apparent response to the dramatic and unprecedented statement, which was made by the free candidate, Emmanuel Macron, during the visit, which led him to Algeria last month.

Marion Le Pen, who won a seat in the lower chamber of the French parliament in 2012 legislative elections, did not add a new position to the party about the colonial past of France in Algeria, and the extreme position regarding immigrants and Algerians specifically, as these positions are considered an extension of the crimes that were committed by her grandfather ” Jean-Marie Le Pen” against Algerians positions during the colonial era.

Controversy that was ignited by a statement of Emmanuel Macron, did not stop, and returned again through her “Tweet”, a trend that is intentional and thoughtful by the extreme right which is trying to use it in the election campaign for the upcoming presidential elections, hoping to win over the remnants of the black foot and harkis, who usually line up behind this trend in the elections, despite the contempt they face by the French in this party.

National Front’s leader, Marine Le Pen, is among the first who responded deprecatingly to the statement of Macron, who described colonialism as a “crime against humanity”, along with the right candidate (Republican Party), Francois Fillon, who is burdened by his family’s scandals.

Previously, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the spiritual father of the extreme right and the founder of the French National Front, which is led by his daughter, Marine Le Pen, was the first to criticize the French football team, because it includes foreigners, led by Algerians, even though they have contributed greatly in the victory of his country in their first and last World Cup.
