Bayonne is still in shock. Last week, during the city’s festivities, Patrice, 46, died after spending more than a week in a coma following a violent attack. His fault: having asked three young people not to urinate in front of his door.
emotion and reason
In recent months, cases of aggression have multiplied in the news. In an open letter addressed to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, families of victims call on the State to show a little more consideration towards them. Guest of Europe 1 this Monday, RN deputy Laurent Jacobelli says he “understands” the anger of the families of victims.
“This long text is very dignified, written with words that go straight to the heart and which calls for two things: first emotion, then reason”, he judges. “Emotion, because we cannot fail to empathize with these families who have lost a loved one and whose whole life has been turned upside down in the indifference of the public authorities, often with a political and media caste that ignores these victims and their families. And then it calls for reason because we are in a society that works upside down, with a real inversion of values, “says the spokesperson for the National Rally.
“Everyone is silent”
For Laurent Jacobelli, the result is clear: “the victims of the savagery of society do not interest the well-meaning”. “Today there is a kind of societal masochism on the part of a certain elite, rather on the left moreover, on the part of certain journalists and certain political decision-makers when it is a thug who is injured or who dies Well there, the media caste gets carried away, the political caste too, trying to explain that France is racist, that the police kill. On the other hand, when it’s a victim of these same thugs, everyone is silent”, indignantly the deputy.
“Why are they silent? Probably because it is an admission of the failure of their policy, an admission of the failure of judicial laxity, an admission of the failure of the victimization of thugs. (. ..) So, we have to put things right, protect the victims and stop the thugs”, he concludes.
