Boycott of French products in the Islamic world
The most prominent French media highlighted the campaign to boycott French products, which was launched in many Arab and Islamic countries.
The newspaper “Le Parisien” said the campaign is expanding in the Arab world “at a time when many are rebelling against the French state’s support for the right to blasphemy and the ridicule of holy things.”
The newspaper pointed to the boycott campaigns organized in Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan, as well as the vigil organized by dozens in front of the residence of the French ambassador in Israel.
The BFMTV website said that “tension is increasing between France and some Islamic countries”, coinciding with boycott campaigns in the Gulf states, Turkey and Iran.
RFI’s website confirmed that the boycott campaign “may harm many French companies”, and that the issue is not limited to food, as 430 travel agencies decided to suspend the purchase of airline tickets to France.
On the other hand, 20 Minutes pointed out that the boycott campaign “aims to send more symbolic messages than to harm the French economy”, which will not be greatly affected by the campaign.
The French Foreign Ministry said that in recent days there have been calls in several Middle Eastern countries to boycott French products, especially food, in addition to calls for demonstrations against France due to the publication of cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad. .
The French Foreign Ministry considered that “these calls for a boycott are unfounded and must be stopped immediately, as well as all the attacks against our country that are being promoted by the extremist minority.”
