The Turkish government was furious and accused the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo of “cultural racism”. The magazine was criticized for producing a front-page cartoon for its latest issue that mocked President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
As reported AFP, Wednesday (10/28/2020) Erdogan’s press assistant was held.
“We condemn the most disgusting attempts of this publication to spread racism and cultural hatred,” Erdogan’s press assistant Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter on Tuesday (10/27/2020).
“The anti-Muslim agenda of French President Macron is paying off! Charlie Hebdo has just published a series of so-called cartoons filled with despicable images of what is said to be our president,” he continued.
Wednesday’s edition of Charlie Hebdo’s cover cartoon, posted online Tuesday night, shows Erdogan in a T-shirt and underwear, drinking a can of beer and lifting a woman’s clothes with a headscarf. to expose her buttocks.
“Oh prophet!” says the character in a speech bubble, while the caption says “Erdogan: personally, it’s a lot of fun.”
Charlie Hebdo exhibits this cartoon at a time of escalating war of words between Erdogan, Macron and other European leaders following the beheading of French school teacher Samuel Paty. Charlie Hebdo is a magazine that previously published cartoons insulting the Prophet Muhammad, prompting attacks and massacres at its editorial offices in 2015.
