France’s Interior Minister, Gerard Collomb
France’s Interior Minister strongly condemned a vicious antisemitic hate crime in Paris that occurred last Thursday, in which three members of a Jewish family were tied up, beaten and robbed by attackers who told their victims, “you are Jews, you have money.”
Interior Minister Gérard Collomb decried what he called “a cowardly act” that “seems directly linked to the religion of its victims” in a statement issued on Sunday.
Collomb expressed his “profound support for the family and for the Jewish institutions of France.”
“Every effort will be made to identify and arrest the authors of this odious aggression,” a statement from Collomb’s office said. “The Minister has full confidence in the Paris police services to take determined action in this enquiry.” The statement pledged that France’s government would “do everything to indefatigably combat every form of racism and antisemitism, which have no place in the French Republic.”
