In the past two days, the representative French right-wing publication "Le Figaro" complained online: Several French mainstream media, including "Le Monde", "Liberty" and "Le Parisien", dare not report a murder case. What's going on? ? The
case occurred in May in Marseille .
The victim was a French military doctor named Alban Gervaise. When he was picking up three children from school, he was brutally murdered by a murderer who shouted "Allahu Akbar" in front of the children. .....
It is reported that this is a Catholic campus and the murderer has French nationality. The police have ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack and the murderer has been identified as suffering from mental illness.
The murder weapon was a Swiss knife. Alban was stabbed to death in front of the children. I really don’t know what kind of psychological trauma and shadow this has caused to the children’s lives. It is so terrifying and cruel...
Military doctors are naturally soldiers, and they dare to kill even soldiers, which shows how serious it is. However, the whole incident did not attract widespread attention, and several mainstream French media chose to remain silent. Is there any unexplainable reason behind this? What happened to the French media, which always prides itself on being outspoken?
41-year-old Alban said goodbye to his wife and children who loved him. The three children clung to their mother's hands. The murderer cruelly took away the family's happiness as precious as diamonds...
It is reported that Alban's wife refused to accept any media interviews after the tragedy, so she was worried about retaliation and did everything to protect her children.
Valérie Boyer, a member of the French Republican Party (right wing), tweeted her tribute and memory.
Searched for Alban’s name on the Internet. It seems that except for "Le Figaro", the media that reported this tragedy were basically local tabloids and unknown self-media.
France's famous right-wing news TV channel CNEWS specifically analyzed and discussed the indifferent attitude of many mainstream media: What is the reason for this shocking silence? Is French society "sick"?
A senior army officer stationed in Paris couldn't help but ask: Is it because he is a soldier? Many comrades around me have asked the same question: How much is a soldier's life worth? We don’t blame others, and we don’t expect any special recognition. We do our duty, but the silence of the media is really a humiliation to the soldiers!
After all, silence would be the equivalent of killing Alban a second time.
On the other hand, "Le Figaro" sarcastically stated that politicians were not much better, and there was silence on both the left and the right. Valeria Boyle, mentioned above, is one of the few French parliamentarians who dared to post a message to commemorate the victims.
Although only a few French media dare to denounce the indifferent attitude of public opinion, in fact many French netizens cannot sit still: We should be angry! It should be reported! Silence is helping the evildoer, being an accomplice!
What do you think about this matter? What is the reason for the silence?
