Guest of Europe 1 on Tuesday, the former President of the Republic considers that the predecessor of Gabriel Attal “had done something amazing” by leaving the principals to manage this sensitive file alone.

The political decision continues to make headlines. While the new Minister of National Education Gabriel Attal decided on a very controversial question on Sunday evening, by banning the wearing ofabaya at school, all the political leaders commented on it. The right and the RN welcomed this initiative, a symbol of the reaffirmation of the principles of secularism. The different formations of the Nupes, they have divided and have not managed to display a common position. It is in this flammable debate that Nicolas Sarkozy shared his analysis on Tuesday. Invited on Europe 1, the former President of the Republic considers that “Mr Attal is absolutely right“. The opportunity to throw a spade at the predecessor of the current tenant of rue de Grenelle.

For Nicolas Sarkozy, Pap Ndiaye, host of the Hôtel de Rochechouart between May 2022 and July 2023, “had done something amazing by leaving it to the principals to analyze abaya by abaya, the political intentions or not of the person who wore it.The ex-president also mocks a lack of responsiveness which “put principals or headteachers in impossible situations.” A conviction all the more rooted in that it was under the mandate of the former head of state that a law, passed in 2010, prohibited the wearing of the burqa in public space. A text that followed the prohibition of ostentatious religious signs at school, adopted in 2004, under the five-year term of Jacques Chirac.

The Council of State may soon be seized by La France insoumise, Nicolas Sarkozy thinks that “the law cannot be completely disconnected from national sovereignty and popular expression.” Conversely, LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard, on France 2 on Tuesday, vilified a decision “unconstitutional“, Who “is dangerous (et) cruel“. She goes “result once again in discrimination against young women and in particular young women of the Muslim faith.If Gabriel Attal’s decision will have to be decided on the legal level, the question of implementation will nonetheless be a headache for the government and the educational administration.
