France Info TV – Separatism: update on a controversial but crucial bill for the government
Matthieu Ragot, partner, was a guest on Franceinfo TV for 11 p.m. on Friday February 12, on the subject of the Law on Separatism, under discussion in the National Assembly.
A debate which unleashes passions and which illustrates the difficulty of reconciling public order and public freedoms. The legislator achieves his objective of fighting all separatist ideologies when he strengthens neutrality in public services, improves the protection of public officials and women’s rights, or even when he fights online hatred. On the other hand, it erodes the balance offered by the law of separation of Church and State of December 9, 1905, to the detriment of freedom of conscience, when it subjects religions to new constraints, for efficiency who questions.
