Dieudonné and the cinema

Dieudonné begins in 1996 a cinematographic career with the film Didier from Alain Chabat and plays in many comedies between 1996 and 2004.

In 2000, Dieudonné wishes to launch out in the writing and the realization of a film on the black Code and then requires a “financing of the writing” with the National center of cinematography, financing which will be finally refused to him with the reason that the documentary form would be appropriate to the treatment of this subject; this refusal, that Dieudonné will judge inequitable within sight of the cover granted to the Shoah, will be determining in its future engagement against what it will name the “lobby Zionist”.

Political commitments

Antiracism with the fight against the communautarism

Dieudonné is initially engaged in the fights antiracists, denouncing racial discriminations and fighting for a greater visibility of the black population in the French company. It engages more seriously in the policy at the time of the legislative of 1997 while being opposed to Dreux with the National front and to its candidate Marie-France Stirbois.

The political positions of Dieudonné evolve/move gradually. This one clamp as of 2000 its Anticommunautarisme and is said against “the borders which separate the men”. He asserts OGRES (Opening geographical, religious, ethnic, social) with his friends of the list the Utopians - Utopia like “starting point of all projects and achievements” - to the regional elections; he will join together 4,77% of the voices.

In 2005, it comes to a conclusion for “not” with the referendum about the European constitution.

The December 23rd 2005, it declares being candidate with the presidential election of 2007.

At the national level, he intends to denounce the injustice and the “Néolibéralisme”. He fustigates the two great French parties (UMP and PS) which he associates under initials UMPS. He says himself in addition very attached to the values of the republic.

The November 11th 2006, Dieudonné goes, within the framework of its presidential campaign, with the Fête of the Blue-white-red of FN in Le Bourget and meets there Jean-Marie Le Pen and Bruno Gollnisch. This visit starts a polemic in the media. Dieudonné will be expressed on several occasions on this visit, informant to fall under a step of dediabolisation and to be sensitive to “the helping hand [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]] with the French of foreign origin and more particularly with the French of African origin,”. Commentators of the national press see there a bringing together of interest with the extreme line by evoking the entourage frontist of Dieudonné. This bringing together is translated during the presidential campaign of 2007 by a voyage common with Jany Le Pen to the Cameroun “into ground Pygmy” to defend the cause of the Pygmy S Baka, victims according to Dieudonné of a Génocide.

With the international level, it takes positions “antisionists”. It supports the Hezbollah at the time of the Guerre of Lebanon of 2006. 27 with the August 30th 2006, it forms part - with Alain Soral, Thierry Meyssan, Ahmed Moualek (president of association the suburbs expresses himself), Marc Robert and Frederic Chatillon (a former head of the Groupe union defense in the Années 1990) - of the delegation which goes to the Lebanon then in Syria. This delegation met in particular the Lebanese president Emile Lahoud, the Général Aoun, Lebanese opponent, and, at the time of a passage to Damas, Hugo Chávez, president of the Venezuela.

It supports the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Al-Manar during its prohibition chains it. He congratulates the Hamas at the time of his election. In same time, it publishes on its site of virulent criticisms against the policy of Israel, criticisms sometimes signed known authors such Noam Chomsky, Maria Poumier, Israel Shamir and Serge Thion (under the pseudonym of Serge Nioth). Its speech is also critical towards the American imperialism, and fustigates the international policy led by Georges Bush while supporting some of its stronger opponents like Hugo Chávez.

Being far from obtaining sponsorships necessary to reach the first turn of the election, he announces to give up his candidature the October 11th 2006. In spite of suspicions of bringing together with the National front, it invites to vote Jose Bove with the first turn and Ségolène Royal with the second. Jose Bove for its part announced that he refused the support of Dieudonné.

Its entourage is composed at the same time of personalities of Extreme left, like Ginette Skandrani, and of close relations of the Extrême right-hand side like the writer Alain Soral or Frederic Chatillon.

Controversial statements and mediatized

What Dieudonné present as its fight against the Communautarisme led it to hold of the public remarks which were at the origin of juridico-media debates and reciprocal charges of Racisme, particularly between 2002 and 2006, where its declarations about the “Jewish communautarism” and the reactions of Community associations or fight against racism caused largely mediatized controversies, punctuated of lawsuits brought by or against him.

In 2000, the general Alliance against the racism and for the respect of the French and Christian identity (Agrif) carries felt sorry for against Dieudonné for racial Diffamation (towards the “white community”) and nun (towards the catholic ). Dieudonné is released in call the March 14th 2002.

Later, within the framework of its candidature for the presidential election of 2002, Dieudonné declares during a maintenance to the magazine Lyon Capitale - in its number n°360 of the 23 to the January 29th 2002 - and in answer to the question of the journalist “Whom do you think of the rise of the anti-semitism among certain young people beurs? ”:

“racism was invented by Abraham. The " populate élu" , it is the beginning of racism. The Moslems today return the answer of the shepherd to the shepherdess. Jews and Moslems for me, that does not exist. Thus anti-semite does not exist, because Jew does not exist. They are two as stupid concepts one as the other. Nobody is Jewish or then everyone. I do not include/understand anything with this history. For me, the Jews, it is a sect, a swindle. It is one of most serious because it is the first. Certain Moslems take the same way by reviving concepts like the holy war… ”.

These remarks were felt like “racial public insult and provocation with racial discrimination” by the central Consistoire - Union of the Jewish communities of France and the Licra. A lawsuit followed about it and was not the subject of a final legal decision. For remarks made in the Sunday newspaper of the February 8th 2004 in which it was shown “to compare the Jews with slave traders”, Dieudonné was condemned in call to: 5000 € of fine in November 2007. Its humor considered to be provocative contributed to feed and to start again the polemic at the time of a sketch interpreted on line on February 1st 2003 during the emission of Marc-Olivier Fogiel One cannot like everyone . Among his remarks having also caused many reactions, one can raise those relative to a “Jewish lobby” cities by Le Monde in January 2004, and those held at the time of a press conference with Algiers the February 16th 2005, where it had qualified the treatment of the memory of the Shoah of “mémorielle pornography”, taking again on his account an expression incorrectly allotted to Idith Zertal by his French translator, Marc Saint Upery.

It in did everything the object of seven legal proceedings, including one relative to this sketch. In four of these procedures, it was released, and three procedures are always in hand, of which that relating to the remarks made with Algiers and who led to a judgment in first authority.

The setting ahead by the media of its remarks and its person involved some consequences for Dieudonné and its close relations, like its spectators, who were taken with part and sometimes were the subject of physical aggressions. Certain people also tried to prevent the humorist from occurring in spectacle.

Its episodical relations with the National front and Kémi Séba, they also were relayed and proposed by certain media.

Certain journalists and commentators, following the example Olivier Mukuna, reproach part of the French press for having assembled a campaign of “diabolisation” against Dieudonné, countryside which it describes as “media lynching”. It presents in addition Dieudonné like “antisionist”, but to in no case like “anti-semite”. Others, on the other hand, like Anne-Sophie Draper, do not draw the same conclusions from the media treatment of Dieudonné and show it “to diffuse the anti-semitism,”.
