Overview

  • Daniel Grenon's trial began on April 17, 2025, at the Sens correctional court for hate speech during the 2024 legislative campaign.
  • He is charged with public incitement to discrimination and public insult based on origin, ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion.
  • The remarks in question include a statement made on July 1, 2024, during a debate where Grenon said, 'These people have no place in high positions,' referring to Maghrebians.
  • Grenon was re-elected in 2024 but was quickly suspended, then expelled from the Rassemblement National on October 18, 2024, following public backlash.
  • Civil rights organizations, including LDH, Licra, and Mrap 89, successfully postponed the initial March hearing to prepare their case and are now key participants in the trial.
