French Minister condemns anti-Semitic book by Polish MEP

The Deputy Minister immediately wrote to the President of the European Parliament, Mr. Pöttering, to ask if this information was true and if so what measures he intended to take.

In conclusion, Catherine Colonna declared that “it would be intolerable if European institutions were indeed funding such publications, even involuntarily,” adding that “the fight against all forms of discrimination based on race, ethnic origin or religion is one of the founding values of the European Union and is written into the European treaties that bind the member States. Anti-Semitism has no place in European democracy.”
