Unrest and antisemitic incitements: a turbulent year for Alain Soral, who opted to hide from public scrutiny
Trial of Alain Soral: A Lack of Answers on June 18, 202 trimmed for brevity
A nosy, argumentative session unfolded at the Paris Correctional Court on a sweltering June 18, 202. The focal point? The trial of the notorious antisemitic writer, Alain Soral, accused of "public provocation without follow-up to commit one of the crimes and misdemeanors that attack the fundamental interests of the nation," along with other charges. Conspicuously absent from the proceedings, Alain Soral opted to stay elsewhere.
Lawyers galore filled the courtroom, with their voices echoing off the soaring ceilings, discussing and debating the case. Alain Soral's attorney was no exception, presenting their defense argument with fervor and determination.
The gist of the accusation against this shrewd character? Statements that threaten the soul of the nation.
In this instance, the valley of controversy revolves around Alain Soral, a charismatic figure.
While the specific statements leading to this particular charge are unavailable, my understanding is that Soral has faced numerous legal battles in the past due to his antisemitic remarks, conspiracy theories, and provocative statements inciting hatred or Holocaust denial. However, the details remain vague in this context.
After a lengthy afternoon of back-and-forth, the public prosecutor demanded a stern sentence of one year in prison for Alain Bonnet, Soral's pseudonym.
