Paris: Far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen said Non-pork choices for Jewish and Muslim pupils will no longer available in school canteens in 11 towns where the far-right National Front party won local elections. In recent elections, Le Pen has won 11 of the Town Hall while in the ’90s she had that half of the seats.
This is the new style of rivalry against Islam by the so called secular France; Le Pen said that the no Islamic applications will be accepted about lunch in the school. The mayor of Arveyres, Benoit Gheysens told AFP the move was being taken because of the cost of providing alternative meals, many of which went to waste. Habitually children who did not take the substitute dinner complained as well and left the pork. It upset the staff to see how much food was wasted, Gheysens said.
As it is known about the National Front political party’s aggression to Islam but the surprising thing is that rise in the popularity against Islam has seen in the last few years. Surprisingly it has seen the hatred and violence in the glimpse of their behavior against the Muslims. This latest move, of course, is a slap on the face of democracy in France.
A law passed in 2004 in France bans the wearing of all visible religious symbols in public schools, including Islamic coverings and headscarves. A law passed in 2010 bans the wearing of veils in public places.
