An LR senator wants to strip Karim Benzema of his French nationality and his Ballon d’Or if his link with the Muslim Brotherhood were confirmed.
“All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children. » This is the message posted this week by Karim Benzema, in reaction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The position taken by the Al-Ittihad striker did not please everyone, and in particular Daniel Riolo, who criticizes the former Madrilenian for having broadcast a message “eminently political” and of “choose your side”.
On the same subject, Gérald Darmanin even went further by accusing Benzema of being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a transnational Islamic organization, considered terrorist by several countries. An accusation assumed by the entourage of the Minister of the Interior, who clarified his remarks.
An elected official wants to take away the Ballon d’Or
“For several years, we have noted a slow drift in Karim Benzema’s positions towards a harsh, rigorous Islam, characteristic of the Brotherhood ideology consisting of disseminating Islamic norms in different spaces of society, particularly in sport”explains someone close to Darmanin to RMC.
Benzema’s actions and positional prose “are not subject to legal proceedings” but ” constitute a particularly vague signal from an athlete benefiting from such an audience”, adds the minister’s entourage. However, an LR senator, Valérie Boyer, is demanding very heavy sanctions against the former Lyonnais, “if, as the Minister of the Interior asserts, Karim Benzema is ‘linked to the Muslim Brotherhood’. »
The elected official thus demands that the 2022 Ballon d’Or be withdrawn from Benzema, for the symbol, before advocating for the deprivation of French nationality of this “French binational, internationally known”, suspected of “thus dishonor and even betray our country”
