By Catherine Coroller. Already, the name of what Eric Besson, Minister of Energy, interviewed on Europe 1 on Wednesday, mixes
he questions of secularism?
Mystery.
As minister, he has never been in charge of worship, but of immigration, integration
,
National Identity and Cooperative Development.
Is it because Nicolas Sarkozy plans to relaunch the debate on national identity, in another form, including Eric Besson debate was loaded when he was Minister of Immigration?
Still, on issues of secularism, the Minister of Energy will take a little stumble.
First claiming that the 1905 law is "sacred", an expression not very happy. And inaccurate since it has been amended a dozen times.
Lorsqu'Eric Besson then asserts that "secularism, it means that religion belongs to the private sphere", he is mistaken. The principle of secularism refers to the neutrality of the state and the separation between it and the churches.
error always says when the above statement by stating that "in practice, it means that we can not, we should not pray in the streets." In that case, why Catholics could they organize a large mass on the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris in the coming of Pope Benedict XVI? And why the Catholic processions in streets and roads are allowed? If
prayers in the street should be banned, it would not be in the name of secularism, but because of possible disturbances to public order.
Tuesday, January 15, at the weekly breakfast for the majority, Nicolas Sarkozy announced the organization on April 5, the UMP, a "great day of confrontation" over "the place of religion in a republic secular and the integration of Islam into a secular republic. "
Hopefully the organizers of this event are more familiar with this issue Eric Besson.
