The controversy over the passing of arms between Karim Benzema and Gérald Darmanin is once again on the rise. Powered by François Hollande.
And now a former President of the Republic gets involved. After the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin, Karim Benzema, through his tweet of support for the Palestinian cause, managed to provoke the reaction of François Hollande, who took charge of France between 2012 and 2017.
Raised on the question on Saturday evening as part of the program “Quelle Epoque” broadcast on France 2, the former head of state judged that “ Karim Benzema did not have a reaction that was justified » in the face of the dramatic events observed in recent weeks (Israeli-Palestinian conflict, attacks in France and Belgium, etc.), adding that the tweet from the former Blues striker “ was not at all acceptable “.
Darmanin also criticized
However, François Hollande does not condone the behavior of Gérald Darmanin either. “ There is absolutely no point in the Ministry of the Interior arguing with Karim Benzema “, he breathes, estimating also that the resident of Place Beauvau “ did not need to say that Benzema had links with the Muslim Brotherhood. Especially since it is not proven “. For these comments by Gérald Darmanin, KB9’s lawyer does not rule out legal action for defamation.
