French MP Challenges Government's Silence on Palestine

French MP Condemns Government's Silence on Palestine Crisis A powerful speech by a French member of parliament has ignited debate over the government's response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Manon Vidal, a deputy from the PTB party, directly challenged the Minister of Media, Jacqueline Galant, during a parliamentary session, criticizing the government's perceived inaction. "De quel côté de l'histoire allez-vous vous positionner?" Vidal asked Galant, demanding to know on which side of history the government would stand. Galant responded by stating that the Eurovision Song Contest was a private matter and therefore outside her purview. Vidal countered this, arguing that while Russia's exclusion from Eurovision was swift, the silence surrounding the situation in Palestine was deafening. "Ça fait 18 mois de génocide, et vous restez silencieuse," Vidal stated, highlighting the ongoing violence. The video of Vidal's speech has gone viral, sparking widespread discussion about France's role in the conflict and the need for greater government action. Her impassioned plea for a more decisive stance underscores the growing concern among the public.
