The case goes beyond the number two of the French far right. As Nicolas Gardères writes in Causeur, "it is already extremely rare for a foreign state to attack a citizen for a press offense and for expressing a truth. It is even hateful that a regime that can safely be called obscurantist and repressive has the courage to hinder the freedom of expression of the citizens of a free and democratic country".

Qatar, a foreign country, has filed a complaint against a European MP. It is a judicial fatwa.

Even the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, sided with Qatar. "I think if they feel insulted they are right to find recourse in the law," said Hidalgo, who is very active on gay-friendly causes and pretends not to know that the emirate condemns its homosexuals to prison and lashes.
The embassy of Qatar in Paris has for years supported French cultural personalities.
Here is the partial list, based on the book "Qatar-France, une décennie culturelle de diplomatie": former Foreign Ministers Dominique de Villepin and Hubert Védrine, former ministers of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand and Jack Lang, the former mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoë, former prime minister Michel Rocard and especially the intelligentsia of the left. The names are those of Régis Debray, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Emmanuel Todd, Jean Daniel and the cartoonist Plantu, and all of them criticized Charlie Hebdo before and after the killing of 7 January.
Plantu, the main cartoonist at Le Monde newspaper, received the "Award Doha" (ten thousand euro) from the hands of the ambassador of Qatar in Paris, Mohamed Al Kuwari.
The French intelligentsia is on the payroll of Qatar. It is a form of jiza, the fee that the Islamic State imposed on Christians in the areas under its control.
These are the Leftist dhimmis who have betrayed Europe.
