Racism in France: A Gendarme from the Republican Guard Denounces an Anonymous Letter and Files a Complaint

A 29-year-old gendarme from the Republican Guard filed a complaint for moral harassment and defamation after receiving an anonymous racist letter. The message referenced an Algerian traditional outfit he wore at a wedding. He has faced discriminatory behavior since joining the unit, despite the existence of an internal zero-tolerance plan against racism within the national gendarmerie.
