Pointed out for ten days by Gérald Darmanin, Karim Benzema saw the Minister of the Interior say something about the former Lyonnais.
The controversy does not seem to be about to die down. For a week, Karim Benzema has been a subject of discussion among politicians. Consequence of the heavy accusations made against him by Gérald Darmanin. “ Mr Karim Benzema has a notorious connection, as we all know, with the Muslim Brotherhood,” he said on television, regretting his selective compassion when he addresses “all (his) prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who were victims once more of these unjust bombings which spare neither women nor children”without having a thought for the Israeli victims of Hamas.
The Minister of the Interior made it clear on Wednesday during a trip to Abu Dhabi. “One might wonder what a footballer is doing tweeting a political opinion and that, when he does it, he does it selectively. I personally think that it hides something and not to see it is to be naive”he said during a meeting with members of the French community at the residence of the French ambassador.

The complaint will perhaps be filed for public insult. This is different from defamation, it is said in a derogatory way. »
