>Criminal Defamation
>France’s Law of 29 July 1881 on the Freedom of the Press establishes the following “delicts”, or criminal wrongs.
>Defamation (Art. 32), defined as any allegation or accusation of a fact that causes an attack on the honour or consideration of a person. When directed at private persons, defamation is punishable with a fine of €12,000.
>Insult (Art. 33), defined as “any offensive expression, scornful word, or invective that does not contain the accusation of a fact”. The penalty is a fine of €12,000.
So if one calls the french president or even the local mayor, or anybody, a moronic fucktard.... That person gets a €12,000 fine.
That's for the free speech tradition
Like I said.

It goes back much earlier than the arrival of islam in france, there isn't any real tradition of free speech in france, since forever
There's a tradition of big gov though
You have a free speech tradition when it comes to shitlibs shitting on imaginary "nazi fascists", yeah
It's that good old "freedom of speech as long as we agree with what you say" tradition
