“The explicit reference to a Nazi slogan and its publication on an open social network” contravenes “the law of July 13, 1990 prohibiting all discrimination,” it is mentioned in the decree. After a report to the Rouen prosecutor, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol sent a letter on Monday to the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin asking him to dissolve the association organizing this evening and ban the song.
