Édouard Philippe repeats claim about immigrants among rioters

Original: Emboîtant le pas à l’extrême droite, Édouard Philippe récidive sur la « surreprésentation des Français issus de l’immigr

Édouard Philippe, France's former prime minister, is being criticised after repeating a claim about the "over-representation of French people of immigrant background" among rioters. Critics, including the newspaper L'Humanité, accuse him of following the far right's line on immigration and stigmatising citizens of immigrant origin. The remarks have drawn sharp reactions in the French political debate.
