And now the individual (70 years old) appeared before the judges for incitement to hatred. A repeated provocation online on at least seven different occasions. Knowing that in addition to various allegations about refugees, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean Asselborn, also took them on his own.

At the bar, the respondent did not deny any comments. But the one who, in the past had worked in the social field, to emphasize that his messages had, in his eyes, no xenophobic background. He thus had nothing against the migrants welcomed in Luxembourg. On the other hand, the declarations of Jean Asselborn (LSAP) – like the famous “Shit then” – seemed to have the gift of making him come out of him. And to apologize to the magistrates if his words could have been misunderstood. A problem of expression should sum up his lawyer, more than racism.

Three months after the start of their survey on the perception of discrimination in Luxembourg, the Liser experts say they are “very satisfied” with the response rate to their online survey. The first results should be communicated in November.

In court that same day, there was also talk of Raymond W., 65 years old. This time, it is under an article related to delinquency in the Gare district of the capital that the man let himself go. Here again discriminating remarks which, even if they date back to September 2019, are being prosecuted. Two years later, and under the threat of a criminal sanction, the respondent recognizes some remorse.

Another case, with Jeannot H who, after an 8-year-old child died after being thrown under a train in Germany, had nothing better than to say that people “strongly pigmented” envied the conditions. of “home” life. A situation which was going, to read it, to make him “go wild”. A step visibly taken since the man appealed to someone like Adolf Hitler to resolve certain situations …

If he had taken care to erase his comment very quickly, however, Jeannot H. was spotted and denounced for his remarks. He, too, advocates more anger than racism to justify his actions. And to apologize to the judges …

In these three cases, the sentences will be pronounced on October 21.
