Le Pen and Zemmour attack the new education minister
In the wake of the announcement of the new government in France, the main figures of the opposition have expressed their utter displeasure, fake and real.
If it is customary to say that a second mandate never starts with a state of grace, it is even less the case for a new government… especially three weeks before the first round of legislative elections. On Friday 20 May, barely an hour after the announcement of the new government by Alexis Kohler, Secretary General of the Elysée, the new ministers were greeted by a salvo of criticism from the opposition.
It was Islamo-leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who disingenuously complained about the government not being far-left enough, providing a smokescreen for President Macron’s already very far-left choices.
Listing a large part of the new government, the leader of La France insoumise announced his gripes. Jean-Luc Mélenchon pointed the finger at “the main figures of social abuse and ecological irresponsibility” and mocked a “gray and dull” government, composed “without audacity”. But he made sure to praise the new Minister of Education Pap Ndiaye.
Pap Ndiaye is the main target for criticism
The former socialist senator Mélenchon was pleased with the departure of Jean-Michel Blanquer and Frédérique Vidal, “the two crusaders in the fight against Islamo-leftism”, but he welcomed the appointment of Pap Ndiaye to the Ministry of National Education, flattering “a great intellectual”, while regretting that the latter had “compromised” by joining Emmanuel Macron.
Islamo-leftism in French universities has been a highly controversial issue in public debate. In 2020, Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer, told Europe 1 that “what is called Islamo-leftism is wreaking havoc. It wreaks havoc at the university, it wreaks havoc when the UNEF [National Union of Students of France] gives in to this type of thing, it wreaks havoc when in the ranks of La France insoumise, you have people who are of this current and appear as such. These people promote an ideology which then, from time to time, leads to the worst”.
In 2021 in response the then Higher Education Minister Frédérique Vidal, Ndiaye insisted that “the term Islamo-leftism does not designate any reality at the university” after Vidal said there should be an investigation into this nefarious current of thought.
Mélenchon’s willingness to side with Macron during the second round of the presidential election, guaranteed the president’s second term and sank Marine Le Pen’s chances of becoming the leader of the country.
Le Pen and Zemmour
The virulently anti-white Ndiaye has particularly caught the attention of Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour.
“The appointment of Pap Ndiaye, an assertive indigenist, to the National Education is the latest stone in the deconstruction of our country, its values and its future,” wrote Marine Le Pen on Twitter, calling on the French to elect a maximum number of RN deputies “to protect our youth from the worst ideologies.
Jordan Bardella echoed this call, expressing alarm at “an extremely worrying signal being sent to French pupils within the national education system, which is already undermined by communitarianism”. The term “communitarianism” is often used in France to describe communities which do not wish to be integrated into French culture, in this case non-whites.
Finally, Eric Zemmour was even more laconic: “Emmanuel Macron had said that we had to deconstruct French history. Pap Ndiaye will do it.”
From a more general point of view, Marine Le Pen also denounced the reappointment of “all those who have greatly failed”, evoking a reshuffle that “symbolizes the incompetence and arrogance of Emmanuel Macron”.
Pap Ndiaye will thus be the new Minister of National Education. This is the first time he has entered the government and his appointment was certainly unexpected.
He replaces Jean-Michel Blanquer. The black historian, specialising in minorities and the social history of blacks in the United States, is the author of La Condition noire (published by Gallimard, 2009).
On his return to France from the US, he obtained a position as a lecturer at the EHESS where his work focused more on the black question, the discourses and practices of “racial discrimination” in France and America. He is one of the pioneers in France in dealing with the complex issue of the population of African descent living in France and in the diaspora, which is called Black studies in the United States.
Notably through his book, he had hoped to “lay the foundations [of this] new field of study”.
Introducing ‘diversity’ in France
In 2003, alongside other intellectuals such as Patrick Lozès and Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch, he participated in the creation of an association to further “diversity”, known as the Cercle d’action pour la promotion et la diversité en France (Capdiv). Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch testified: “We did not want to appear as communalists, but to deal with the discrimination suffered by black people. Pap was very involved.”
In 2005, the Representative Council of Black Associations in France (Cran), chaired by Patrick Lozès, was created and Pap Ndiaye chaired the “scientific council”.
He set out arguments in favor of the use of ethnic statistics in France, for “scientific and political reasons”, in order to identify racial discrimination. According to Le Monde in 2009, Ndiaye “wanted to fuel the debate on French- style affirmative action”.
Ndiaye was critical of the removal in 2018 of the word “race” from Article 1 of the Constitution, considering that this risks weakening the fight against racism. He offered an explanation for his viewpoint in an interview with Le Monde in 2019: “Even if it is obvious that ‘race’ does not exist from a biological point of view, it is clear that it has not disappeared in mentalities: it has survived as an imaginary category historically constructed, with powerful social effects. Even if the intention is laudable, abolishing ‘race’ in the social sciences or the Constitution will not eliminate discrimination based on it.”
Ndiaye is also one of the co-authors of the report condemning the lack of ethnic diversity at the Paris Opera. The Paris Opera has taken the unprecedented decision to review its recruitment criteria to encourage the entry of more non-white artists, and has announced the future appointment of a “diversity officer”. This followed from the report submitted at the initiative of its director, on this subject, FranceInter reported at the time.
For the first time, the institution had launched a mission on the racial issue, at a time when employees were calling for the abolition of certain practices within the three-hundred-year-old establishment, with a manifesto entitled De la question raciale à l’Opéra national de Paris.
The instigators were Constance Rivière, the Secretary General of the human right association Défenseure des droits, and Ndiaye, reported France Culture.
The new Minister of National Education took part in a “non-mixed” meeting (forbidden to whites) with indigenous leaders Maboula Soumahoro and François Vergès. According to him, “anti-white racism” is part of the “vocabulary of the extreme right” and it is important for him to “deconstruct” this vocabulary.
He is adamant that “there is indeed a structural racism in France” and has praised the BLM activist Assa Traoré: “Her speech is unifying. I hear a speech of convergence rather than a speech of division. A speech that calls for equality”.

Germany: Because a gay man discussed Islam, presumably Muslims beat him up
Two men beat up a 31-year-old man from Bremen in a pub on the Rembertiring on Sunday afternoon. According to the police, the sexual orientation of the victim was the trigger for the attack.
The 31-year-old was allegedly talking about religion with a friend of the same age and a 28-year-old girlfriend in a fast food restaurant on Rembertiring. Two men at the next table overheard the conversation. They allegedly shouted at the 31-year-old because in their opinion he, as a homosexual man, had no right to talk about Islam.
The men then beat the 31-year-old and fled from the bar. The 31-year-old was taken to hospital for outpatient treatment. The police described the attackers as follows: They were about 18 years old, black-haired and about 1.70 metres tall. They were wearing dark T-shirts and one was wearing a cap.
The State Security Service is investigating because homophobic crimes are hate crimes. The Criminal Investigation Service is accepting tips from witnesses.

EU finances ‘Drag Queen’ courses to the tune of hundreds of thousands
More than 220 000 euros have flowed from the EU youth program Erasmus+ to so-called “Drag Queen” projects. This is shown by research by the German MEP Nikolaus Fest (AfD).
Erasmus+ is a multi-billion euro EU program to support “education”, youth and sport. Among the many funded projects are several “drag” organizations. “Drag” stands for “dressed as a girl”.
According to publicly available information from Brussels, a “Drag It Up” workshop by a Berlin group was funded with 21 797 euros in tax money. In November 2021, the group Critical Queer Solidarity hosted the “Drag It Up” seminar, which the EU described as a “youth exchange” in Berlin with 38 participants aged between 18 and 30.
The promotional image for the event shows a half-dressed, made-up man in a lascivious pose.
The European Commission apparently sees this as an educational project worthy of funding. It explained that it promoted “Drag It Up” to increase “the self-confidence of young queer people”. It wanted to “empower them to become artists and performers”. To this end, the seminar would teach them how to “wear makeup and wigs, walk in high heels and other methods of blurring traditional binary gender roles”.
According to the prospectus, the participants in the seminar were able to “get to know the rich and diverse drag and queer scene in Berlin,” according to the EU’s description.
‘EU finances gender culture wars’
The news site Breitbart London was the first English-language medium to report on the promotion of the various “drag” groups on Saturday. However, MP Nikolaus Fest, head of the AfD delegation in the European Parliament, has been researching this for years.
He criticized the use of EU funds speaking to Breitbart in no uncertain terms. “This is a waste of taxpayers’ money.” The EU throws away taxpayers’ money “for lipstick courses and lace underwear for men”. In doing so, it showed that it was “following a woke agenda no matter what”. The AfD politician spoke of an EU-financed culture war against traditional gender roles.
Drag projects and LGBTQ friendly schools
The list of EU-funded “Drag” projects that he created, is surprisingly long. In 2021, for example, the EU subsidized a “Beyond Gender Summer Camp” near Göttingen with 62 690 euros. In an academy, 75 participants – namely “trans*, inter*, non-binary and gender-questioning young people” – were supposed to come together for a one-week summer camp.native advertising
The EU Commission also granted almost 40 000 euros tax money for the project “EUROPE – identities under (trans)formation: GENDER*X”, which took place in Salzburg.
In Spain and Slovenia, Erasmus+ also supported various “drag queen” and LGBTQ projects. The EU paid 24 597 euros to the LGBTQ group “Dragtivism” for seminars in Barcelona and Girona and 21 770 euros to the Slovenian “United with Pride” project, which also featured “drag queens”.
EU funds other LGBTQ initiatives
The EU Commission is financing the project for “LGBTQ-friendly schools throughout Europe” with 434 000 euros. A project funded by Erasmus+ with almost 135 000 euros was allotted to better care for “queer migrants”.
Fest also complained that the EU promoted children’s books about “adventures of gay kangaroos”, although this is a violation of the EU treaties, because questions of bringing up children are a matter for the member states, not the EU.
After quarrel at German fair: “Southerners” (a.k.a. Turks or Arabs) shoot German after they have beat up 16-year-old boy
Horror at the fair: A group of young “southerners” (aka Turks or Arabs, editor’s note) are looking for a fight. They surround a young German ( age 16) and beat him up. When the victim’s father approaches, they run away. But on the run, the migrants suddenly open fire! A bystander (40) is hit by a projectile. He dies a short time later in hospital.
The perpetrators in Lüdenscheid, Germany, shot at each other with a blank pistol and a real gun. In this way, they wanted to throw off their pursuers. Previously, the group had been looking for trouble and had attacked a young German. Together with his father, he later took up the pursuit of the “southerners”.
The armed men manage to escape into a residential area. Dramatically: One of the projectiles hit a man from Gummersbach (40) on his way out of the fair – the man was seriously injured and lost his life shortly afterwards. Therefore, the homicide squad is now investigating. According to the newspaper “Bild”, they are looking for adolescents aged between 16 and 20 with a southern appearance. Four of them wore completely dark clothing, one a light gray jogging suit, the sixth a white T-shirt.

‘Risk of monkeypox vaccine complications almost as great as risk of getting disease’
The monkeypox virus has emerged in the Netherlands. Minister Kuipers has labeled it a group A-disease and vaccines are being deployed. Group A-diseases are infectious diseases for which the doctor must immediately report to the state if the diagnosis has been made. But are they safe?
Website Medicinfo writes the following about the monkeypox vaccine: “The disease can be prevented by avoiding contact with animals such as monkeys, squirrels and other animals. The monkeypox infection can be partially prevented by vaccination. However, the risk of complications from the vaccine is almost as great as the risk of developing the disease. A mass vaccination program against monkeypox is not practical because the disease is rare. The smallpox vaccine offers some protection against monkeypox.”
Medicinfo was founded in 2000 by health insurers and home care organization Thebe. In more than 20 years, Medicinfo has grown into a developer of personal remote care via digital solutions.
The medical team of Medicinfo consists of nurses and general practitioners who have years of experience with digital care. It offers various hybrid care services to support primary care, both during the day and in collaboration with GPs.
The virus has now been diagnosed in a second person in the Netherlands, state medical body RIVM reported. The WHO has decided to hold an emergency meeting due to the sudden global outbreak. Experts will consider whether the alarm should be raised.
The WHO could declare a public health emergency of international concern, usurping the sovereignty of nations to deal with any future outbreak of disease.
Dutch Health Minister Ernst Kuipers confirmed that the first case was diagnosed in the Netherlands on Friday and there are now a few cases.
From now on, doctors and health department employees must report if they detect monkeypox in someone “in order to be able to take measures quickly”. The virus can cause ‘flu-like symptoms’ and a rash.
“Monkeypox has also been given the A status in these times of inflation. I say bizarre,” responded Maarten van den Berg. “Is chickenpox also A disease? Kills a number of children every year. RSV also A disease? Kills a number of children every year.”
Media director of Ongehoord Nederland TV Peter Vlemmix noted: “Wow. Monkeypox has just been put on the A-list by Kuipers in all haste. ‘No general collective measures are to be expected’. Yes, we know that one. Please note, this could escalate quickly next week.”
Political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek stated: “And here we have the perfect excuse to relinquish our sovereignty to the World Health Organization the day after tomorrow. Lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations and face masks incoming in 3, 2, 1…”
“As of today on the A-list. I really hope no one falls for this nonsense again after the circus of the last two years. But knowing the average Dutch person, those masks will soon be put on very willingly. Exhausting. Hope I’m wrong,” said journalist Annelies Strikkers.
The Doctors Collective, to which more than 2600 physicians are affiliated, pointed out RIVM recommendations for a Group A disease: “Possible legal measures: forced admission to isolation or home isolation, forced examination, forced quarantine (including medical supervision), prohibition of professional practice.”
