The Great Apéro Debate


Today the Paris Prefecture banned the Apéro Saucisson-Pinard, scheduled for June 18 at la Goutte d'Or in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. June 18 is also the anniversary of Charles de Gaulle's call for French resistance to the Nazi invaders and to the Pétain government.

If you are confused, it is because I have given you the latest news without first telling you what it is about.

Back on May 21 Novopress, among many other sites, began talking about a giant "Apéro" organized by one Sylvie François, to be held in the Muslim-held territory of the 18th arrondissement of Paris on Friday June 18 at 7:00 p.m. This is the neighborhood where, on Friday afternoons, you can see streets filled with Muslims bent over in prayer, traffic being controlled by Muslim "police", and French citizens forced to find other ways to get around, since the streets and pavements belong to the non-French, i.e., the new rulers of France. What is an "apéro"? It's a little bit like our happy hour (the word derives from "apéritif"- the pre-dinner drink I used to enjoy so much in France), except that this one centers on the enjoyment of drinking Pinard wine with the delicious "saucisson" or salami that the French make so well, and often take along with them on picnics. Some French bread, a few slices of ''saucisson", lots of good wine and you have a feast.

Except that the territory is in Muslim hands and Islam forbids alcohol and pork meat, one of the major ingredients in the "saucisson".

And so, the prefect has banned the party. But when word got out, via Facebook, about the event, the news spread like wildfire and soon thousands had joined the Facebook group, and a very big crowd is expected despite the ban, since the organizers have no intention of backing down. They have just filed an appeal.

One unusual aspect is that the ban was not issued to the organizers of the Apéro, but to the press! As if the judge was informing the press of a conviction before the defendant himself was informed.

Source: Novopress

But there is more, much more. Videos, debates, articles galore, and news that other cities in Europe are following suit: a Bacon and Beer Apéro in London and a Beer and Saucisson Apéro in Brussels, according to Novopress.

Apéros are not uncommon in France. But often they are nothing more than the typical binge-drinking beer fests we see here on college campuses and in restaurants and cafés in the evenings, weekends and holidays. Sometimes the apéro turns violent but it is not banned by the police. In the current case, if it is being banned, it is because this apéro has a political and patriotic purpose - to bring together those Frenchmen who refuse the Islamization of France, who reject the notion that to be patriotic is to be a "racist", and who cherish their national identity, of which the wine and "saucisson" are symbols.

This communiqué, signed Yann Baly, from Chrétienté-Solidarité, an organization founded by Bernard Antony to promote and protect Christianity and the rights of Christians, was posted at Yves Daoudal's blog:

We have just learned, as was foreseeable, that the authorities of the formerly "laïque" French Republic, have decided to ban the Apéro scheduled for this Friday in the neighborhood known as la Goutte d'Or.

The prefect cites as reasons for the ban: "the place, the day, and the time of day."

There is, then, in France, a place (a heavily Islamized area), a day (Friday), the day of the great Muslim prayer, and an hour (the hour of the soccer match between England and Algeria), when for these reasons, we cannot eat saucisson or drink wine!

As we predicted, the Republic has just officially recognized a Muslim enclave in France, where sharia law is applied to the detriment of French traditions.

The French people should know this and note it well.

Note: The soccer match on Friday is expected to have major repercussions in France, no matter who wins.

Here is an amazing video, 1'22" long, that hauntingly illustrates the transformation of "Barbès" in the 18th arrondissement, from a flourishing working class neighborhood, consisting entirely of ethnic French, to a slum not only inhabited by foreigners, but ruled by them. Rue Myrha, Rue Léon, Boulevard Barbès have all been the subject of photo essays by the website Riposte Laïque, whose photographer Maxime Lépante shot scenes of the Friday prayers and the manner in which the streets no longer belonged to the Parisians. These photos, some of which I published at Galliawatch (click label Barbès below) also spread like wildfire throughout the web, and to foreign websites as well, illustrating the degree to which Paris is occupied by the enemy and the interest such images aroused around the world.



Here is one more video - 6 minutes long - showing the total occupation by Muslims at prayer of the rue des Poissoniers in Barbès. This street, along with several others, is entirely in Muslim hands on Friday afternoons, and one can assume other days as well, even if there are no prayer meetings. Occupation is not just a matter of praying in the street, but of being there in great numbers.



Note: I have not taken the time to translate these videos which, I think, speak for themselves.

There is much information at both Facebook (where the original invitation from Sylvie François appeared) and Twitter, but I am not registered at those sites. My attempt to register at Facebook failed, possibly because of inadequate software. I assume most readers can register - look for "Apéro Saucisson et Pinard".

Several anti-racism organizations such as SOS Racism have protested against the Apéro. The head of SOS Racism, Dominique Sopo, and Sylvie François have already faced off in a debate that is on video.

Finally there is much more to be said about Riposte Laïque and Sylvie François who writes for RL, but it will have to wait.

Thanks for this article and the additional context that it provides for this protest. I've been following it with some interest over the past couple of days, but like you, am not a Facebook member so I've not been able to access the relevant Facebook page. I'm glad to see that some Londoners are thinking of staging a bacon and beer party (I'd only just suggested it on my blog half an hour ago or so, but I've been beaten to it!).

Whatever happens, this is an imaginative and humorous riposte to Islamisation. May more such events be planned!

It is now spreading to several other cities around France with new facebook groups for those cities. I might not agree with RL, but I give a lot of credit to Sylvie. This is a good example of what can be accomplished with a coalition, putting other differences aside for a common goal, just like the Resistance which had everything from Communists to Royalists.

Since the number of Muslims in Paris is high and the number of Mosques is small and the obligation to pray is respected by Muslim, it is not surprising that in crowded communitie space for prayer will expand to the streets. Having repeatedly voted against the anti-immigration party in national elections, it is a little late for Frenchmen to get angry when Muslims fulfill their religious obligations.
It is possible that at this late date the frogs have begun to notice that the water is getting hotter.
My frequent and extensive periods of residence in Paris have taught me that the French will not fight for freedom of speach or freedom of association or freedom to smoke.
I do not think that they will fight for sausage.

@ Durotrigan

I am afraid Muslims have absolutely no sense of humour ; that is what makes them the "cousins" of communists or nazis....or any other totalitarians!

Today, Sylvie asks all "genuine French" living in Paris to gather Place de l'Etoile (arc de triomphe, soldat inconnu..), just as students did on one November 11th, in spite of the ban the Germans had edicted...

I wish I lived in Paris ; as I don't, I think I am going to bring a few flowers to our local "monument aux Morts"....And of coursse I am going to wear , with ostentation, my chain with a croix de Lorraine!

Read what hypocrite-sos-racisme says about «Apéro géant saucisson et
pinard à la Goutte d'Or»:


«Nouvel apéro des identitaires à l’Etoile : une insulte aux victimes du nazisme

SOS Racisme apprend que les organisateurs de l’ « apéro saucisson-pinard », initialement prévu dans le quartier de la Goutte d’Or et interdit (notamment à notre demande) par la Préfecture de Police de Paris, ont décidé de déplacer leur évènement à l’Etoile.

Plus précisément, les organisateurs entendent reprendre à leur compte, en ce 18 juin2010, le symbole des étudiants qui y avaient manifesté à l’automne 1940 contre l’occupation nazie et y avaient laissé la vie.

Rappelons que les organisateurs de ce rassemblement sont des groupuscules d’extrême-droite et que leur référence à la résistance aux nazis est ici un retournement dont l’extrême-droite est friande. Les références et filiations du Bloc Identitaire, principal organisateur de l’évènement, en font une lointaine résonance du nazisme. A cet égard, il est à noter que les affiches collées à la Goutte d’Or pour annoncer le feu « apéro saucisson-pinard » utilisaient une typographie qui faisait singulièrement ressortir les deux « S » successifs du mot « saucisson », dans un rappel très clair au sigle des SS, organisation reconnue comme criminelle par le tribunal de Nüremberg.

A ce titre, la volonté affichée du Bloc Identitaire de se placer dans la filiation des étudiants qui laissèrent leur vie dans la résistance au nazisme en 1940 est non seulement un travestissement total des réalités historiques et politiques mais également une insulte faite à ces victimes du nazisme dont la mémoire risque de se voir souillée par un tel rassemblement. Mais il faut dire que l’extrême-droite n’a jamais fait beaucoup de cas de la mémoire des résistants…»


This organization should be abolished.

IF THERE ARE BRITISH READERS at galliawatch:


UK: MCB Annual General Meeting to Elect New Leadership

The Muslim Council of Britain is to hold its 13th Annual General Meeting this Sunday 20 June 2010 at the London Muslim Centre, Whitechapel, London. Delegates representing the range of Muslim civil society — mosques, ulama bodies, and professional associations — are assembling from across Britain, including Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to elect a new Central Working Committee, and also office-bearers for the 2010-2012 term.

The occasion will mark the conclusion of Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari’s tenure as Secretary General, having served the maximum of two terms permitted by the MCB’s Constitution. He has been an unassuming, dedicated and tireless worker for the interests of Muslims in Britain, and the MCB will continue to value his wise counsel.

The AGM will also include a panel discussion on ‘How Should Muslims Engage in the New Politics’ chaired by radio producer Hasan Patel and conclude with an evening reception attended by interfaith leaders, Muslim MPs and diplomats and other MCB well-wishers.

How is possible for the authorities to ban a picnic, and at the same time allow the muslim "police" to illegally close the streets for "prayers"?

How can the legal system accept that muslims break the law and get away with it for years?

The concequense of this several years old muslims breaking the law should be to allow any French to organize gatherings, block strets, lay out carpets on the streets and the pavements and leave muslims out.

Why is it OK to have muslims do this with no consequences for them?

Are the French authorities soon going to tell the French people that sharia rules over French law and constitution, and the French must now submit to sharia?

Thanks so much for this cultural and historic background on these Wine and Sausage Happy Hours.

I just became aware of the apéros republicaines scheduled for today from of all things the Christian Broadcasting Network - the only media reporting in English.

The Happy Hours are an important emerging phenomenon that bear striking similarities with the Tea Parties in the US, and the federal government's refusal to enforce its own immigration laws in Arizona.

I look forward to more excellent commentary from you.

@ Julius Stahl

And I thank you for your comment. France has a tough fight ahead of her. Many feel the die is cast, the ethnic changes in the country are overpowering, and there is little that can be done except watch as the end comes.

I still feel that something can be done, but the divisions within the country are the problem. Liberal Catholics against traditionalists, Leftists who refuse to open one eye, Leftists who are willing to open one eye, but not two, betrayals on all sides... it's a mess. Leaders of all parties are struggling just to maintain their own sinecure, caving in to Islam, to multi-culturalism, and seemingly without any guilt. The leaders of France seem to have contempt for their own people, just as Mr. Obama has contempt for white America.

It sounds like you are out of the United States.
