George Death: Time Macron and Police Brutality

george death: Unusually for a French leader, Macron acknowledged that someone's address, name, colour of skin can reduce their chances at succeeding in French society, and called for a fight to ensure that everyone can find their place regardless of ethnic origin or religion, according to CTV. He promised to be uncompromising in the face of racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination. It was the first time Macron has spoken on the issues since George Floyd's death in the U.S. unleashed protests around the world, including several in France, where demonstrators have expressed anger at racial injustice and police brutality, particularly toward minorities from France's former colonies in Africa. However, he insisted that France will not take down statues of controversial, colonial-era figures as has happened in some other countries in recent weeks. We should look at all of our history together including relations with Africa, with a goal of truth instead of denying who we are, Macron said. Amid calls for taking down statues tied to France's slave trade or colonial wrongs, Macron said the republic will not erase any trace, or any name, from its history ... it will not take down any statue.
