An investigation has been launched against Michel Houellebecq due to an interview he gave years ago

A French judge has launched an investigation against writer Michel Houellebecq for incitement to discrimination, hatred, and violence. This follows comments made in a 2022 interview where he discussed Muslims as a threat to 'native' French people. Houellebecq's remarks included a controversial conspiracy theory and expressed a desire for Muslims to either assimilate or leave France. His recent book, "Megsemmisülni," has also been published in Hungarian.
