The local Union of Jewish students of France at the Sorbonne ransacked
Blocked by students, the school was closed at the time. A few hours before the white march in memory of Mireille Knoll, the Minister of Higher Education asks that "all light is made" on these degradations.
"To death Israel", "Long live Palestine", "Palestine will win" ... These are the messages that were discovered this Wednesday in the premises of the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF) at the University Paris-I The Sorbonne. Beyond these inscriptions, the local center Pierre-Mendès-France was "completely sacked," says Sacha Ghozlan, president of the UEJF. The university's president, Georges Haddad, who went there to see the damage, announced to the UEJF that he intended to lodge a complaint.
The Tolbiac site at the Sorbonne, which was supposed to reopen on Thursday morning, is currently blocked by a group of far left activist students. These students are asking for "the withdrawal of the laws ORE (Orientation and success of students) and Asylum-immigration". "These claims are not the responsibility" of Paris-I, said this morning its president George Haddad on the account of Pantheon-Sorbonne. The university must "remain a place of public debate, broad and serene" but "these debates can not be done at the expense of the good course of the academic year, without taking into account the rules of safety and security", added it it, before the discovery of the degradations in the local of the UEJF.
In a press release, the Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal, asked that all the light be shed on these degradations. It refers to "anti-Semitic tags and degradations". The minister explained condemning "with the greatest firmness these shameful degradations" and recalls that this rampage took place only a few hours of the white march in tribute to Mireille Knoll , Jewish woman murdered Friday. "It is more than ever necessary to place the core values of respect, solidarity and fraternity at the heart of our society," added the minister.
