French Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne presented today a plan to combat racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Gypsyism and discrimination related to origin, with the aim of making young people less vulnerable to messages of hate.
The Prime Minister said that every student during schooling will have to participate in "a visit to a historical or memorial site associated with racism, anti-Semitism or anti-Gypsyism", as certain values are instilled from childhood.
Elizabeth Bourne, whose Jewish father was deported during the war and then killed himself when the Prime Minister was 11 years old, said that young people are susceptible to creating and believing in conspiracy theories.
"Young people are the most affected by hate messages on social networks," said the Prime Minister.
The new plan 2023-2026 envisages a series of measures in various sectors, from education to employment, including justice and sports. Among other things, certain mechanisms for reporting and condemning hate speech will be developed.
