French MP brings parliament to a halt by yelling 'Go back to Africa' to Black MP | News24

France's lower house of parliament suspended its session on Thursday after a far-right MP shouted, "Go back to Africa!" as a Black legislator from the far left asked a question about immigration.

At least the rest of the government took the guy and his party to task. Curious to see EFF dogma used elsewhere.

Have we run out of racism in SA and reporting on France now?

• Carlos Martens Bilongo was asking a question when another MP shouted "Go back to Africa!"

Please tell me he wasn't told to go back to where he bilongo.

It's currently a big debate in French media whether he said,

Qu'il retourne en Afrique - Let him go back to Africa.

or

Qu'ils retournent en Afrique - Let them go back to Africa.

The outburst was caught off-mic but officially recording written in parliament transcripts as Qu'il retourne en Afrique.

Considering it was in response to M. Carlos Martens Bilongo talking about what should be done about African migrants coming over who are not being safely assisted...

I'm leaning towards him talking about them, and not Bilongo.

I also lean towards him calling out the migrants on the boat. African migrants is a huge problem in the EU and elsewhere in the world. For the sake of the world, I feel it is only fair that these migrants are not assisted abroad and sent back to their home countries, where they can go back, unite and stand up against their democracies and hold them accountable.

French parliament halted by lawmaker’s shout ‘Go back to Africa’​

A rightwing French lawmaker has caused uproar by shouting “Go back to Africa” during a Black lawmaker’s comments at a parliamentary session broadcast to the public on Thursday.

...

Bilongo was calling on the French government to cooperate with EU counties – notably Italy and its newly-elected far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – to assist several hundred African migrants rescued from the Mediterranean sea.

De Fournas interrupted, shouting “go back to Africa.”

...

Mathilde Panot, leader of the far-left France Unbowed group at the National Assembly, has demanded that de Fournas face the toughest punishment for a French lawmaker — expulsion. “Racists like him have no place in our parliament,” Panot tweeted.

De Fournas said that he was referring to migrants, tweeting that the France Unbowed had “hijacked” his words in a “disgraceful manipulation.”

“My answer concerned the boat and the migrants, obviously not my colleague,” he tweeted.

According to French phonetic rules, there is little audible difference between the sentences, “He should go back to Africa” and “They should go back to Africa” as de Fournas expressed them.

Phonetic rules... okay.

This is why context matters.

Doesn't matter how you interpret it. He isn't wrong.
If he said it to a leftist MP or if he was talking about the migrants.
