France's President, Francois Hollande, recently commemorated the 70th anniversary of Allied Forces liberating Nazi concentration camps during WWII. He remarked that racism was still a problem today. Over the last few years France has a had a series of religious based attacks, specially against Jews and Muslims. While commemorating the atrocities of Nazi concentration camps, Hollande pointed out that it was important to recognize that hate was still present today and that preventing more racist/religious acts of violence was essential. Interestingly though, Hollande made no comment on plans for tackling the problem of racism and religious based attacks that have been happening in France.
