153: Manuel Valls, France's former Prime Minister describes the threat of extremist politics to the French Jewish community (en Français)

from Jonny Gould's Jewish State · host Jonny Gould

Our guest today is France’s former prime minister, Manuel Valls. We met at the European Jewish Association delegation to Auschwitz. France has the biggest Jewish community in Europe and it's the only country outside the Middle East where Sephardim outnumber Ashkenazim. Undoubtedly, this is a legacy of the Holocaust and the subsequent migration of French-speaking Jews from North Africa after World War II. Notre invité aujourd’hui est l’ancien Premier ministre Français, Manuel Valls, rencontré à la « European Jewish Association delegation to Auschwitz ». Manuel Valls est un fervent défenseur de la communauté juive de France et décrit les problèmes de la société française dans cet entretien informel, enregistré lors d’une pause-café entre les séances où il intervenait. M. Valls a souhaité mener l'entretien en français afin de respecter la nature précise de ses convictions. J’ai bien entendu accepté, conscient de l’auditoire nombreux francophone ici à Londres, en Europe et au Canada. Nous avons parlé du Premier ministre français, Gabriel Attal, évoqué par certains comme l'héritier d'Emmanuel Macron - ce qui a fait sourire Manuel Valls puisqu’il a lui même été considéré comme tel par le passé !
