Faced with an event that plunges the nation into a state of shock, political reaction is always a delicate art. Reacting quickly but sticking to displaying emotion and general considerations can feel like denial.
Conversely, to oppose immediately, as Guillaume Peltier did (Reconquest!), the "cowardice" of a minute of silence to the need to fight against "conquering Islamism" is a hasty and abusive recovery. There are other forms of misplaced instrumentalization, as when the president of the Renaissance group, Aurore Bergé, points out.
