Reaction from Erwann LE HÔ, President of the Côte d’Azur LGBT Center:
“In Nice-Matin today, Henri Leroy, the Republican senator of the Alpes Maritimes, links the opening of medically assisted procreation to ‘eugenics’ and the ‘experiments’ of Dr. Mengele, who practiced torture in Nazi camps.
I respect everyone’s opinions on the opening of assisted reproduction, but the debate must be calm and reasoned.
I strongly denounce this amalgamation and the outrageous excesses of this extreme right, which does not hesitate to stir up the worst hatred for its interests and to cast shame on thousands of families and children. I call on the national and departmental leaders of his party to clarify the situation and condemn these indefensible remarks. I hope that the Senator will have the decency to apologize for his words.”
