The French parliament was halted on Thursday after a far-right MP shouted ‘go back to Africa’ at a Black politician during a debate about migration.
He pointed out that even if the words were aimed at the migrants rather than him personally, they would still have been ‘unjustifiable’, adding: ‘Has racism become so commonplace that this sentence has become acceptable?’
Stephane Sejourne, who leads President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party, said de Fournas should resign, and the left-wing Nupes alliance said that he should be expelled. ‘This racist slur is characteristic of the far-right: stigmatise according to the colour of your skin, divide the French people.’However, the far right insisted de Fournas was not aiming the words at Bilongo, but at the stranded migrants.
