It is a noise that does not go unnoticed in Creil in the Oise department. For, as every Friday, the call to prayer and the sermon are broadcast by loudspeakers in front of the community’s An Nour mosque. A ritual that is far from meeting with undivided approval and even upsets many residents of the neighbourhood who are tired of enduring this inconvenience every week, as several politicians were able to explain on Twitter. Gilbert Collard, Eric Zemmour’s well-known running mate, deplored the development and posted a video on his Twitter account featuring the infamous weekly religious call. ” Long live the cockcrow “, said the member of the party Reconquête!
For his part, the co-founder of Avenir Français, Alexandre Sabatou, took the floor to denounce the call, which he felt was too loud. “The noise pollution can be heard within a radius of more than ten kilometres around this place of worship,” he declared. He also announced that he had sent a letter to the mayor to enforce compliance with the law, “because secularism is not an outdated principle, but more relevant than ever”. Alexandre Sabatou recalled that the 1905 law and administrative jurisprudence can lead to restrictions on religious demonstrations on public streets if they affect public order. If the city administration does not give a satisfactory answer, the co-founder of Avenir Français announced that he would take legal action before the administrative court in Amiens.
