The controversy is swelling around the former mayor of Auderghem Didier Gosuin (Défi). This Tuesday, the former Brussels minister published a text signed by the philosopher Cornélius Castoriadis on the Arabs, which begins as follows: “The Arabs now present themselves as the eternal victims of the West. It’s a grotesque mythology.” The author continues: “Muslims can only live in France to the extent that, in fact, they accept not to be Muslims on a series of points”.
Quickly, Ecolo deputy Hicham Talhi pointed the finger at the former mayor Amarante. “France has just turned upside down and Défi shows us how to do it with examples,” slips the MP, with allusions to the recent adoption of the “immigration law”. The alderman of Tubize, Mourad Abdelali, also a member of Défi, deplores a lack of “historical context and nuances”, and attacks Auderghemois. “For my part, Didier, the dissemination of such a simplistic and reductive vision can only sow division.”
”If it was misinterpreted, I apologize.”
After several reactions to his publication, the Auderghemois reacted on Facebook: “The recent text posted by Cornelius Castoriadis has clearly inflamed people’s minds. If it was misinterpreted, I apologize, but unfortunately it was also an easy outlet for simplistic reasoning, or even unacceptable insults.”

The former representative says he understands the links that some have made between his publication and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or the recent debates on the veil in the Anderlecht administration. “Today I feel a new outbreak of fever marked by the seal of religious radicalism. And I am in no way targeting the discourse of Islamism alone, but also Hindu nationalism or the madness of white and Christian supremacists in the USA. And so on, for short. This is why I published this text which reminds us that according to history we are all victims and culprits but above all too often exploited by religious radicalism which swears only by theocracy or totalitarianism to the detriment of our model of democracy, certainly always imperfect but the only one to proclaim tolerance, respect for personal convictions and equality, particularly between men and women.”
