– President Macron’s anti-Muslim agenda has borne fruit! Charlie Hebdo has just published a series of so-called drawings full of heinous images that are supposed to represent the president, Erdogan’s press manager Fahrettin Altun tweets.
– We condemn this publication’s very heinous attempt to spread cultural racism and hatred, he continues.
The caricature on the front page of the French magazine depicts Erdogan wearing underpants and a T-shirt and holding a beer can in his hand, while lifting his skirt and showing the naked buttocks of a woman in a hijab.
The drawing is the magazine’s commentary on the war of words that erupted between Erdogan, Macron and other European leaders after the assassination of French teacher Samuel Paty in Paris last week.
Paty was killed by an 18-year-old Chechen after showing students a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad printed in Charlie Hebdo.
