France has the largest Muslim population in Europe. And as a consequence, it has the most No-Go areas, where Muslims dominate and make life dangerous for any indigenous French who dare to enter, including firemen and policemen, who are viewed as representatives of the government and thus especially hated by the Muslims who do not recognize the authority of the Infidel state. Because of its large Muslim population, which is now 9% of the total French population in the Hexagon, France also has a skyrocketing rate of criminality. Muslims, who constitute 9% of the population, make up 80% of the criminals now imprisoned. But still the government wants to look, in monty-pythonish fashion, “on the bright side of life.”
The latest example of this is the Interior Minister, Gerard Darmanin, who declares himself well-pleased with the decline in the number of cars vandalized and set aflame during this year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. Here is the latest display of vacuity from this once-stern Parisian politician now turned pollyanna: “French interior minister mocked after saying ‘only’ 690 cars torched on New Year’s Eve,” by Denes Albert, ReMix News, January 3, 2023:
France’s interior minister attempts to put a positive spin on hundreds of arson attacks across the country during New Year’s Eve.
There were riots in several French cities, almost 700 cars were set on fire, and nearly 500 people were arrested on New Year’s Eve in France. However, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said in a statement that New Year’s Eve celebrations in the country had taken place “without any major incidents.”
Isn’t the torching of 700 cars a “major incident”? Don’t the arrests of 500 people during just one night, despite an enormous police presence, bespeak a major breakdown in authority? And what would the number of arrests have risen to had the French not mobilized 90,000 police and gendarmes – three times the usual number – to patrol cities all across France?
The French authorities were on high alert for the end of the year, with 90,000 police officers and gendarmes mobilized across the country for New Year’s Eve, according to a statement by Darmanin.
Yes, an extraordinary effort was made, and that kept the number of cars torched to “only 700.” But the state can’t afford to call up and deploy 90,00 police and gendarmes every week or month. The “forces of order,” as they are optimistically called, are stretched thin because there is simply not enough money to hire more of them, or to pay the overtime for those who are called up during especially “tense” occasions in the Muslim neighborhoods. A handful of times a year — but no more — the police and gendarmes may be deployed in such numbers as they were on New Year’s Eve.
The French politician also pointed out that New Year’s Eve 2022 showed a historic improvement in the number of vehicles set on fire, with “only” 690 cars burned nationwide. According to figures in the release, that number was 874 last year, a 21 percent improvement.
Darmanin pointed out that 490 people were detained, 11 percent more than the previous year, leading the minister to conclude that the police and gendarmes on the streets were fully capable of maintaining law and order. Twitter users mocked Darmanin’s post, pointing out that the country was flooded with 90,000 officers, creating a very costly police state for what should be a festive occasion, and even then, hundreds of vehicles were set on fire and police attacked.
Although the French interior minister says that there have been “no notable incidents” in the country, the people of Nantes may be of a different opinion. In the city, rioters set fire to several cars on New Year’s Eve and then attacked police and firefighters with fireworks. Some of the arson attacks were caught on film.
A French local newspaper, Le Dauphiné Libéré, reported that a gendarmerie barracks in Pierrelatte, a municipality in the southeastern part of the Drôme department, was attacked and fireworks were fired at the building, which caught fire. There were no injuries or serious damage to property, but in several other municipalities in the county, several bins and cars were set on fire.
In Alsace, scenes of carnage were filmed across the city, including a number of arson attacks against cars and buses.
In the Haute-Garonne department in the south of the country, the last night of 2022 was also a busy one, with 41 fires reported by the authorities; according to the La Dépêche newspaper, a children’s home was also set on fire, with six people inside the building having to be housed in a nearby village.
The city of Bordeaux was also hectic on New Year’s Eve, with dozens of vandals shooting fireworks in the streets; footage of the scene showed that the projectiles were deliberately aimed at people.
Darmanin thinks rounding up 490 people is an impressive display of maintaining law and order, but it was due only to the large, and fiscally unrepeatable, deployment of 90,000 police and gendarmes, three times more than the usual number. Darmanin says nothing about the number of police officers and firemen who on New Year’s Eve were attacked by Muslim rioters; it’s a subject on which he’d prefer to remain silent; no need to alarm the public by telling them the truth.
Nor can Darmanin conclude, as he apparently did, that those forces of order were able to “maintain law and order.” When seven hundred cars are consumed by fire in one night, when there is much other damage to stores and residences and police barracks that same night of New Year’s Eve, when indigenous French in their own land are preyed upon year-round by Muslim migrants who rob, burglarize, assault, rape, and murder them – 80% of prisoners in French jails are Muslim — France cannot be considered a country where “law and order is maintained.” The French do not recognize their country in Darmanin’s description. They want to be told the truth, the same disturbing truth that they experience in their own lives, experiences which confirm the statement that “the large-scale presence of Muslims in France has created a situation which is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous for the indigenous non-Muslims than would be the case without that large-scale presence.”
Let’s hope that Gerard Darmanin, who was once seen as the only Islam-realist in Macron’s cabinet, returns to his previous self, sober, pessimistic, but prepared to enter the lists against those who, instead of gratitude to the French for having allowed them to settle in their midst, intend by stealth to seize France from its legitimate owners.

Pretty weird flip flopping by this politician. Maybe he has given up on facing up to the Muslim problem, and maybe with 9% Muslims, France has already had it anyway, and he has decided that it is hopeless to try to rally the French people against the Muslim invasion, or maybe Muslims have threatened him and he is afraid to speak up these days. Whatever it is, France is in huge trouble. Far too many Muslims and those no-go areas are only going to increase.

His maternal grandfather was a harki, an Algerian Muslim in the Frech army. No wonder he has mixed feelings.

What’s that you said Hussain? Your house has accidentally caught fire when you accidentally left your detonator on top of your ammunition box? I’m sorry, well I’m not but it’s just something one says, we can’t come out to that area as it’s a no go area. We didn’t create it, Muslims did, so you’ll have to get a camel to piss on it.
