34. EU law supersedes French law

in regards to free speech

Also if someone in the USA were to publicly call for the killing of gays, jews, blacks in the USA they can be arrested for incitation of murder. In France (EU judges have not taken on free speech in relation to racism from what I understand) we esteem that overt racism will inevitably lead to an increase in acts of violence against the group which is denigrated and that such action is illegal. Is this a limit on free speech or a limit on spreading hatred, increased violence, and overall injustice?
