The label “Villes et Villages Fleuris” (” Flowering Villages and Towns”) has been given a competitor. The youth of the Rassemblement National have decided to reclaim the brand created in 1959 under the aegis of General de Gaulle. The promotion of green spaces is replaced by the denunciation of another kind of green. “We want to expose the agreements and collaborations of certain town halls with Islamism and communitarianism,” explains Aleksandar Nikolic, national youth delegate.
To inaugurate his sign “Villes et Villages Islamistes” (Islamist Villages and Towns), the top candidate of the RN list in Centre-Val de Loire in the last regional elections did not hesitate for long and chose the town of Trappes in the department of Yvelines. Around 3pm on Wednesday, he and two members of his team reached the western entrance of the town. They parked on Rue Paul Verlaine, near the town’s McDonald’s. With their brand new sign clasped under their arms, the three men walk to the entrance sign of Trappes, located a few metres away. After taking a few photos to document his action, Aleksandar Nikolic covers the traditional “ville fleurie” sign with his own creation. Here, the flowery notes have been replaced by veiled women. In the case of Trappes, there are four. The maximum rating for this “national mark of submission to Islamist laws”. “We are talking about the city from which, in all of Europe, most jihadists have left for Syria,” says Aleksandar Nikolic.
