On Instagram, a post by Stephen Plaza to announce the arrival of his real estate agencies in foreign territories was received very poorly.
France – more welcome than frost. Host Stephen Plaza drew the ire of Martinique and Guadeloupe residents with a nasty sentiment posted on his Instagram account.
The star presenter of M6, accused of domestic violence, announced on the social network his intention to set up his real estate companies in several foreign territories. In his message, the real estate agent compared himself to Christopher Columbus, without realizing the historical weight of the mention.
“Like a Christopher Columbus, I wander for a new stratospheric adventure: let’s start from Guadalupe. », he wrote in this publication dated May 5. A little later in this long speech he further enumerates ” Go to Martinique in mid-September “.
“Change the subject »
As reported Le FigaroThe reports provoked a particularly strong reaction on Wednesday 8 May from the head of Martinique’s governing body, Serge Letsimi. “Change the subject », the latter asked Six’s host before giving him a catch-up lesson on the heritage of Christopher Columbus.
” I strongly condemn the statements of Stephen Plaza who expressed his desire to establish his real estate companies “like Christopher Columbus” in Martinique and Guadeloupe. », he wrote in the introduction to this text on X (formerly Twitter).
” Revealing this name (Christopher Columbus) does an unforgivable dishonor to our people of Martinique and Guadeloupe. », he adds, before explaining why.
“You recognize a murderer and torturer who actively participated in the European genocide of the aborigines and who caused slavery and the sexual trafficking of women and children (…) Aboriginal peoples, a murderer and a torturer responsible for the massacres pierced by tribes like Dinos. Spears, cut with swords, cut in two, devoured by dogs, torn apart by dogs, gold. All of these were burned alive under the orders of Christopher Columbus, so your comments are totally unacceptable. »
A before desire come again » At Stéphane Plaza in France, Serge Letsimi ends his answer on a more theoretical note. No ship should seek to dock at a shore that does not respect its history and people “. “Our hearts are not open to conquerors who have come to impose their law. »
Stephen Plaza’s post is still visible on his Instagram account, but the reference to the famous navigator, governor of the West Indies, has been completely removed and replaced.
Undoubtedly the worst publicity the real estate agent has ever done, now in the eyes of French justice “Routine Violence” On two former comrades. He has vehemently denied the facts in the two cases, which will be heard in the Criminal Court in August.
