The Murder of Lola – France in turmoil

The cruel murder of a 12-year-old girl in Paris has shocked France. Right-wing parties and extremists use this tragedy as a weapon against the government in migration policy.

Last Friday, Lola was found brutally murdered in her backyard. The father had raised the alarm earlier, when he was waiting for the girl who did not return from school. Shortly thereafter, a suspect was identified and arrested. The female suspect is in custody together with a suspected assistant. The psychological examinations will clarify the mental state of the suspect, who also suffered from mental illness before.

Zemmour's return to the political scene

The French right-wing extremist, Eric Zemmour, had been silent these days, since his "Reconquête" party in the parliamentary elections achieved only 4% of the votes. His "reconquest" party was supported by extreme conservatives and dissidents from Le Pen's Rassemblement National party, including Le Pen's niece, Marion Mareschal. But his exaggerated anti-Islam propaganda alienated many voters. Now Zemmour is caught after Lola's murder to get back on the political scene. "Algerian citizen and illegal, now it's official: Lola's killer should never have met the girl. One more time. #Francocide" writes Zemmour on Twitter.

The suspect for Lola's murder is the Algerian Dahbia B. who came to France with a student visa 6 years ago. But her right of residence had ended, after a check in August at the airport, Dahbia B. received the order to leave France until the end of September. But Dahbia B, like many other illegal migrants, did not leave. The Ministry of the Interior in Paris has stated that since the beginning of the year, only 20% of the people who had to leave France have been deported. But the dark figure may be in several hundreds of thousands of people who stay illegally. It is said by the government that until now the focus has been on the deportation of persons with criminal offences. Dahbia B. had no problems with justice before. French government spokesman, Olivier Veran said that there should be "improvements" in the evictions and that they are working intensively to implement them. But he warned against instrumentalizing and politicizing this case. But Zemmour and his supporter, Samuel Lafont, have been talking for several days about the "conspiracy of silence" and have protested against the "murderous uncertainty".

Attacks from the right in the National Assembly

On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron received the parents of the murdered girl and expressed his condolences. Meanwhile, Lola's parents have retreated to Breton to escape the media frenzy. This week at the National Assembly in Paris there were strong verbal attacks from the right. "Many crimes are committed by illegal immigrants, whom we did not want and who could not bring them home", declared the leader of the opposition, Marine Le Pen, who in the presidential elections reached 42% of the votes against Macron. French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne warned Le Pen to show "more sense of decency" and respect "the pain of the family and the memory of Lola". But even conservatives who cooperate with the president's camp repeatedly attacked the government. "This child was tortured, was raped and killed by an illegal immigrant who should have left France.” The Ministry of Justice is responsible for this failure, said MP Eric Pauget. The Minister of Justice, Eric Dupont-Moretti, blamed the opposition for seeking to derive even the smallest political advantage from this and "using the coffin of the 12-year-old girl as a springboard", and this "is a shame".

The use of dramatic assassinations by the political extreme

Political scientist Jean-Yves Camus from the Jean Jaurès Foundation in Paris is of the opinion that "all those who want to derive their advantages from this terrible murder are very dishonest. We really have problems with evictions, which are not enforced. But this problem can only be solved with politics and diplomacy, not by sowing hatred and increasing family grief." Relations with Algeria, the country from which many citizens do not have a residence permit, are tense. The French government must always weigh how confrontational it will be in carrying out mass deportations.

Right-wing extremist Eric Zemmour

An analysis by the television station France Info recalls that the use of dramatic cases of criminality by the extreme political wing in France has its own tradition. "In the 70s it was Jean-Marie Le Pen (Marine Le Pen's father) who used the murders committed by foreigners to whip migration," writes Renaud Dely. Today, Marine Le Pen uses Lola's drama to win over those who are still on the conservative side./ DW
