Pensions: “There is fire at home France”, declares Bruno Retailleau, denouncing “the French far left”

Bruno Retailleau is “worried“. At the dawn of the tenth mobilization meeting against the pension reform, a few days after the violent clashes around the mega-basins of Sainte-Soline, the president of the senators Les Républicains said he was concerned about the “unprecedented violenceobserved. “There is fire at the house France“, even declared the elected representative of Vendée, on the set of RTL this Tuesday morning.

According to him, several factors explain the situation. First of all, “too many embers have been smoldering for too long“. But above all,some throw oil on this ember“. “Some“, to know “the extreme left, and in particular Jean-Luc Melenchon“. The speech echoes that given by the Head of State the day before. In front of his troops gathered at the Élysée, Emmanuel Macron castigated the fact that the Insoumis had the project of “delegitimize” the institutions.

Of course, the President of the Republicmade mistakes” and the “responsibilities” are “shared“. But for Bruno Retailleau, the outings of the Head of State are not to be put “at the same level as the institutionalization of the violence carried out by the French extreme left“. “When we see the debates in the National Assembly and this violence in the words, in the terms, in the parliamentary acts (…), there is like an extension between this violence in the hemicycle and the violence committed outside“, he developed.

In this context, the responsibility therefore lies particularly with one man: Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whose objective is to “bring down the Ve Republic“. “He justifies violence every day“, denounced Bruno Retailleau.
