Frank Riester, French Minister of State for Foreign Trade, said boycott of Turkish products was not on his agenda.
In a statement on RTL radio, Riester argued that President Emmanuel Macron’s statements on Islam are not attacks on Muslims and Islam.
Stating that Muslims in the country can freely practice their religion, Riester said France is determined to fight terrorism and “radical Islamism.”
Riester pointed out that it was intolerable to compare the treatment of Muslims with what was done to Jews in Europe in the 1930s.
Stating that boycott calls for French products are limited in Arab countries due to Macron’s anti-Islamic attitude, Riester also reacted to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call for a boycott of French products.
Stating that boycotting Turkish products is not on his agenda, Riester said: “We will not do what the Turks are doing today.” I speak.
In her written statement yesterday, French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Mühll demanded that calls and actions in Arab countries to boycott French products be stopped.
As backlash against Macron’s anti-Islamic statements continues in the Arab world, calls for a boycott of French products also increase.
With the recent attacks on Muslims and Islamic organizations in France, the Macron administration has initiated anti-Islamic practices in several cities in the country.
In the cities of Montpellier and Toulouse, in the Conflans-Sainte-Honorine district near Paris, insulting caricatures from the French humor magazine Charlie Hebdo were projected on the walls of official buildings last week to “commemorate” the beheaded teacher and murdered.
In his statement, Macron said that they would not stop publishing cartoons for the Prophet Muhammad.
Pressure and raids against Muslim associations and non-governmental organizations in the country also increased.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced on October 19 that a mosque and many non-governmental associations and organizations would be closed, including the French Collective Against Islamophobia (CCIF) and Barakacity.
