When laws like this are presented one really has to question, WHY?
What really comes to mind since Covid BS is, as soon as they started to ‘cancel’ what was said against the government narrative, well it was a red flag. If all of THE agencies said we couldn’t present an opposing view, what’s hidden?
The downright cheek of these European politicians, who act as though they have some divine right over others, is astounding.
So sad to see a great nation sink to the level of authoritarian suppression and draconian punishment for exercising the basic human right of honest free speech. Not a good indicator of the future.
There’s no First Amendment right to free speech in France. Silencing critics of Zionism is an idea so fabulous that it needs to be mandatory!
The answer get rid of all the politicians starting with Rothschild Puppet Macron
