Public expression of opinion
Your article Fin du communisme. L'hiver des âmes from 1992 aroused criticism. Jean-François Revel criticized the fact that Sallenave sees the victims of communism rather among the people who believed in communism and have now been disappointed, and ignores the real victims of communism, namely many millions of dead.
In 1999 Sallenave criticized the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages , which she saw threatened the unity of the French Republic. This article elicited several critical responses, including from Henri Giordan.
In her journalistic writings Sallenave turns against communitarianism and religious fanaticism and dogmatism of all kinds, but also against an enemy image of Islam and the catchphrase of the clash of cultures .
