The expert believes that the terrorist attack in Nice took place because of the provocative policy of the Charlie Hebdo journal that published anti-Islamist caricatures, which should not have been published. The political scientist noted that nothing like that is possible in Russia.
“What is taking place in France today <…> is a downfall of minds; this is an artificially created tension between the Muslims and the Christians. Mr. Macron’s regime is based on this crystallization of fear,” Le Roy Ladurie said, adding that media play a key role in this process as their agenda focuses on the crisis, terrorism, and other negative issues.
He believes that a characteristic feature of President of France Emmanuel Macron’s regime is that the French citizens cannot get a clear idea of what is happening in their country, which causes their negative reaction.
