A court in Marseille authorized campaign posters of the political party of Jean Marie Le Pen, National Front (FN) in the south of France, which undermine Islam and Muslims and incites hatred of Algeria and the Algerians.
The verdict was rendered yesterday in favor of Le Pen in the lawsuit filed by the International League against Racism and Antisemitism. The French court allows the election posters of the Front National (extreme right) representing a fully veiled woman beside a map of France covered by the Algerian flag on which stand minarets shaped missiles, with the writing "not to Islamism'.
Algeria has protested "officially" with France against the poster which is "kneeling" symbols plastered by the National Front as part of its campaign for regional elections, said Monday the Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mourad Medelci.
"We have formally protested and it is the French government to take appropriate action when the symbols of foreign countries are brought to their knees," said Medelci on sidelines of a ceremony chaired by President Abdelaziz Bouteflika on the occasion of International Day of Women.
