Eric Zemmour, reacted then immediately, as the controversy began to swell, around his remarks, via Tweets on Saturday morning: "I want adapted, personalized and flexible solutions: we must act with realism and generosity. “Of course, there are cases where putting them in a regular facility is a good thing because it allows them to progress, to socialize.

ERIC ZEMMOUR HAS PUBLISHED A VIDEO FOR PARENTS OF DISABLED KIDS TO CORRECT HIS CLUMSY REMARKS---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Zemmour, reacted immediately, as the controversy began to swell, around his remarks about the education of children with disabilities, via Tweets on Saturday morning: "I want adapted, personalized and flexible solutions: we must act with realism and generosity. “Of course, there are cases where putting them in a regular establishment is a good thing because it allows them to progress, to socialize. And then there are other cases, real, more numerous than we say, where it is a suffering for these children. "I think it's an ideological position, as always. We decided it was best to get everyone together. I don't think so", "not to put them away but to take care of them better". He says he is "very attached to the fact that there are bridges between schooling in a specialized and ordinary facility, because it is at each stage of life that we must be present to support Saying that, the discourse is clearer knowing that if Eric Zemmour had not taken up the subject of disability, none of the other candidates had been interested in this minority which takes over 12 Million in France, i.e. 15% of the French population. The subject not being sexy, it has the merit of having been placed at the heart of the presidential campaign 2022, whether even clumsily or not, proving once again that Eric Zemmour, seems to punctuate the campaign and impose the agenda even hot topics, that are of a big concern for the French.What is regrettable and paradoxical is that Eric Zemmour is the only candidate to have launched a working group and movement #HandicapWithZemmour, since November 3, 2021... a priori to advance the cause of disability within the framework of the presidential campaign 2022.

THE WHOLE POLITICAL CLASS WAS OFFENDED BY ERIC ZEMMOUR'S COMMENTS AND THIS LED TO A GREAT CONTROVERSY---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first political leader to react was Marine Le Pen (Leader of the National Far Right rally) candidate for the 2022 Presidential election (Opinion Poll, Vote Intentions 17%) who declared: "It is Unforgivable to attack children with disabilities weakened by disability". In opposition, Jean Luc Melenchon, Leader of LFI, far Left, candidate for the 2022 Presidential election (Opinion Poll, Intentions Vote 9%) declared "I am sickened by this kind of remark".---------------------------------------- It should be noted that these two current candidates for the Presidential of 2022, had already had the merit of having proposed in their respective programs of 2017, a real improvement for people with disabilities, (In particular the increase of the AAH, Allowance for Disabled People) while the other candidates didn't seem to consider the not-so-sexy topic of disability inclusion. Valerie Pecresse the Republican Candidate, for the 2022 presidential election, (Opinion Poll, Intentions Vote 16%) declared "I am outraged by the brutality of Eric Zemmour who wants to exclude children with disabilities from school ». Damien Abad, leader of the group of Republicans deputies in the National Assembly, himself disabled, castigated on Twitter ": Eric Zemmour's comments are scandalous and he must present a public apology", "scandalous comments on the education of children with disabilities ", that Eric Zemmour "wants to exclude from mainstream school. This segregation on all levels is an absolute shame. Yes, we must be obsessed with inclusion. He demanded a "public apology." Damien Abad is the only disabled MP out of 577 and had replied to our journalist in 2016, at the National Assembly, that he was not the spokesperson for people with disabilities...and went back to renaming questions other than on this subject".------------------------------------- Anne Hidalgo, socialist candidate for the 2022 residential election (Opinion pull, 3%): "Eric Zemmour is a man who wants to continue clashes in society which does not need that".Anne Hidalgo's reaction is hesitant due to its very neutral tone, towards people with disabilities whom she neither defends nor mentions even, their name; She has rarely gotten involved in promoting their inclusion, whether they are children or adults, in terms of suitable housing, access to jobs, access to public transport (only one metro line accessible for people with reduced mobility), holidays, etc. in the city of Paris, of which she is the mayor . It should also be noted that the thousands (3000 to 6000 public works in progress) constantly hinder accessibility for people with reduced mobility, on crutches or wheelchairs, who are deprived of the roadway as well as the cycle paths provided for bicycles exclusively, and which most cyclists do not want to see wheelchairs circulating….which often then find themselves on the road in the middle of cars…---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for women with disabilities, they represent twice as many able-bodied women as suffer violence and only rarely have the possibility of obtaining emergency accommodation…and some find themselves so excluded and abandoned that they end up disabled, violent and homeless. It's double jeopardy...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophie Cluzel, Secretary of State for Disability (Since 2017, under Emmanuel Macron's mandate), reacted to Eric Zemmour's remarks denouncing a "pitiful statement". “By wanting to take disabled children out of the school of the Republic, he illustrates once again his rejection of differences. People with disabilities have their place in society,” she tweeted. On BFMTV, she said: "Of course it's complicated, but it's really the honor of France to be able to educate these children with others, among others". The reaction of the Minister, Sophie Cluzel, is out of step with the harsh reality of the many petitions, signed by associations and parents in distress, who are asking her to improve the inclusion of their disabled children at school and some have even signed a petition with nearly 300,000 signatures asking for her resignation….because dissatisfied with her measures since she has been in the government, 2017.
