Paris, May 29: The Paris Mayor called Anne Hidalgo for the Black Feminist Festival in the city, which reported that it was banned for excluding white people. The Nyansapo Festival will be held in July. The 80 percent venue for "Black Feminist" was allocated for Blacks, the BBC reported. Black people of any gender will be allowed in another area, while a third area will be open to all. Hidalgo tweeted on Sunday that she reserved the right "to prosecute the organisers for discrimination". Some French anti-racism organisations have condemned the festival, reports the BBC.
SOS Racisme called it "an abomination" and said it "wallows in ethnic separation", while Licra, the International League against Racism and Antisemitism, said: "Rosa Parks (American civil rights activist) would be turning in her grave." Last week, the regional head of the far-right National Front party had challenged Hidalgo to explain the "blatantly racist" event. Administrators in a statement claimed that they "targeted misinformation and fake news through treacherous rights" and they "regretted that some racist groups could deceive themselves". They say that there is "no problem" with feminist groups only when women are not guided.
