Listener reactions following Anne-Cécile Mailfert’s September 27 column “Philippine Affair: We need a solution, not a recovery! »
Faithful listener of France Inter, I am writing to you for the first time.
I found the latest column on the assassination of Philippine by Anne-Cécile Mailfert odious. This time, the cup is full.
How can we contrast this murder with the multiple rapes of Ms. Pélicot? How can we say that the problem is men when there is an obvious problem of insecurity linked to immigration and a shift in humanist and republican values?
And calling voters people who are being manipulated by the far right when I have always voted left, and will continue to do so, is like spitting in the face. This shows at least a disconnect between reality and the storytelling that your columnist tells herself.
Fortunately there are other columnists like Hugo Clément… A worried and dismayed listener.
At 7:15 this morning, I heard a columnist say things that scandalized me.
The parallels about the mistakes of the police that I heard this morning are odious. Not seeing the difference between the two news items mentioned is very problematic. I don’t see what the police did wrong in the Pelicot affair. I think the level of columnists is dropping.
I am ashamed for my France Inter. This message is my first written to a media, my media. France Inter forgot that it had to have a balanced view on the subjects in view of its financing.
I think the rise of the RN is caused by this type of intervention. Please, I beg you to stop this type of intervention which is truly counterproductive!
I just heard the story related to Philippine’s murder.
Allow me to make a comment regarding your subject:
I agree that we should not stigmatize and that the extreme right should not take up this subject which is basically femicide. But I don’t understand why in the description of the victim you mention that she is a convinced Catholic. What does his religious affiliation have to do with this description? What scares me is that here too some people could take advantage of it and further support the idea of “deviant” culture. Basically “the Moroccan harmed a Catholic”.
I think we really have to be careful with the slightest words in this context.
You also indicated “police failures”. There too I reacted.
Do you know how administratively difficult it is to deport someone? And this is not the responsibility of the police. They are powerless in the face of issues that are not moving forward.
So be careful too. We are lucky to have people who work as police officers, because not only is it dangerous and underpaid for the risks, but as they are “accessible”, we easily pounce on them to criticize them fundamentally. an entire system.
So there you have it, I just wanted to share with you my feelings this morning.
Thank you for your work which must also have its share of difficulties.
I find it deeply shocking that a spokesperson for feminism would prefer, on the day of the funeral of a murdered woman, to forget this umpteenth feminicide, in order to speak out about xenophobia. Where is the consistency? Why do we give the airplay to speakers lacking so much tact and discernment? Anne-Cécile Mailfert sadly showed the shallowness of her convictions, which do not deserve a prime time slot.
