“The Israeli delegation is not welcome”
Estrosi wants the “dissolution of LFI”, following the comments of Thomas Portes
As the Paris Olympic Games approach, this great global circus that looks like a vast game of deception, the controversy is raging and enraging one man: Christian Estrosi… Coming from a city councilor who has made double standards an art of living in his good city of Nice, ostentatiously wearing, and with undisguised joy, the Kippa during the celebration of Yom Kippur among his Jewish constituents, while taking offence at the wearing of Algerian-coloured t-shirts by another section of his fellow citizens, the reaction to the remarks of the LFI MP, Thomas Portes, could only be epidermal.
The very Sarkozyist Christian Estrosi, who has since transformed into a zealous Macronist, was in fact furious when he heard Thomas Portes, the parliamentarian who was a little too Insoumis for his taste, refuse to welcome the Israeli athletes…
“We are a few days away from an international event that will be held in Paris, which are the Olympic Games. And I am here to say that no, the Israeli delegation is not welcome,” the NFP representative loudly proclaimed during a demonstration in support of the Palestinians. A courageous elected official, who appears as a seditious, pro-Hamas agitator in the eyes of his fierce detractors, at the forefront of whom are the mayor of Nice and the CRIF.
At these words that struck his very pro-Israeli ears, particularly sensitive to Netanyahu’s filthy propaganda dehumanizing the martyred population of Gaza, Christian Estrosi, furious, purely and simply called on X for the “dissolution of LFI”. “I demand that a dissolution procedure be initiated against LFI and, in the meantime, the suppression of all public aid against this party and its members who have definitively banned themselves from the nation,” he typed frantically on his keyboard.
“We must put an end to double standards,” Thomas Portes insisted, referring to the Russian delegation whose athletes, because of the war in Ukraine, will have to present themselves under a neutral banner and without the national anthem. “The IOC has, on several occasions, banned countries from the Olympic Games for their role in wars and crimes against humanity,” the MP, who is being criticized by pro-Israeli sycophants, usefully reminded us, citing South Africa, which was excluded for thirty years because of its apartheid policy. In a France of the Macron era that, shamelessly, turns a blind eye to the horror of the genocide in Gaza, how can we still be surprised by the reaction of Christian Estrosi, the elected official who is reviving feverish nostalgia for French Algeria in his Côte d’Azur stronghold, and whose Welcome to the Israeli athletes will certainly be very warm?
