M. Michel Fanget attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur l'antisémitisme et de l'islamophobie en Autriche. L'Autriche est membre de l'Union européenne, un pays ami qui bénéficie de la confiance que lui confère cette amitié européenne. Néanmoins, depuis les dernières élections législatives de 2017, ce pays ami dont le peuple souverain a décidé de confier la politique de l'État à un gouvernement conservateur (OVP) et d'extrême-droite. Le parti FPO a pour principe d'interdire l'immigration musulmane, qui constitue de fait une politique islamophobe. Pour recontextualiser cette réflexion, il est à rappeler que le parti FPO a été créé par deux anciens Waffen SS : Anton Reinthaller et Friedrich Peter. Si l'Autriche, tant qu'elle respecte, les valeurs de l'Europe est libre de porter la politique que son peuple lui confère, il est néanmoins important d'assumer le rôle de la France et de ne pas répéter les erreurs du passé et à assumer son rôle de gendarme du monde siégeant de droit au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. Aujourd'hui ce pays demande par la voie de son ministre de l'intérieur Herbert Kickl, corroborée par une note confidentielle de la présidence autrichienne de l'UE pour 6 mois, de modifier substantiellement les conditions d'attribution du droit d'asile. Ce droit consacré aux articles 13 et 14 de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'Homme et du citoyen repris par la Convention européenne des droits de l'Homme que l'Autriche a ratifiée en 1956. Aujourd'hui, ce même pays met en place une campagne, sous couvert de la défense du bien-être animal, de la limitation de la pratique de l'abattage animal religieux, en établissant des listes de juifs et de musulmans pour s'assurer de la non surproduction de viande issue de ces rituels religieux qui prohibent l'étourdissement de l'animal avant l'abattage. Or, en Autriche, les autorités administratives possèdent déjà ces chiffres puisqu'il est exigé avant toute installation de déclarer sa religion et ceux pour tous les habitants autrichiens ou non. Il apparaît donc étonnant, voire inquiétant, que compte tenu des informations dont disposent l'État autrichien, que ce dernier use de propos publiquement islamophobes et antisémites, sous couvert d'une intention de lutter contre la souffrance animale. L'histoire ne peut ignorer les conséquences sur le long terme de ce type de propos, de ce genre de climat. À tort ou à raison, le gouvernement autrichien prend la route d'un passé qui semblait d'une autre humanité à laquelle il a été dit non par le peuple d'Europe auquel l'Autriche appartient. Il l'interroge donc pour savoir quelles ont été les mesures de mise en garde faites à l'Autriche face à cette situation.
France · National Assembly · 7 July 2018
M. Jean-Marie Fiévet alerte M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur, sur les réfugiés climatiques. La première notion de réfugiés environnementaux est apparue en 1985 comme ceux qui sont forcés de quitter leur lieu temporairement ou de façon permanente à cause d'une rupture environnementale qui met en péril leur existence ou affecte sérieusement leurs conditions de vie. La France, pionnière avec la mise en œuvre de l'accord de Paris pour contenir le réchauffement climatique, doit s'interroger sur les migrations climatiques qui en sont une conséquence. Il lui demande donc les dispositions prévues en faveur des déplacés climatiques pour mieux les protéger.
