Front National copies anti-minaret posters
The French National Front (FN) has adopted the idea of depicting minarets as missiles for a regional campaign in France. The agency that created the anti-minaret posters for the SVP intends to take legal action against Le Pen’s party.
This is theft, said Alexander Segert, Managing Director of the Goal advertising agency, in an interview in the French-speaking Swiss daily newspaper La Liberté on Thursday, according to SDA. The agency will use all means at its disposal to take action against the idea thieves. The head of the advertising agency said that they did not want the posters to be instrumentalized or distorted by other parties and groups. "We have never worked for the FN. And we never will."
The title of the French poster is "No to Islam". It comes from the FN party youth organization in the Provence-Alpes-Côtes-d'Azur region. They are using the poster to campaign for Jean-Marie Le Pen in the upcoming regional elections in March, as can be read on their website.
This is not the first time that posters created by Alexander Segert for SVP campaigns have been adopted by far-right parties. In 2007, the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) copied the SVP poster on the deportation initiative for its own campaign in the federal state of Hesse. The SVP poster showed three white sheep throwing a black sheep from Switzerland.
