“Go into dictatorship, you will see!”: Macron denounces the speeches justifying the violence

2020-01-24T11:55:32.045Z


In the plane that brought him back from Israel, the president denounced the “guilty political speeches” which, according to him, would fuel the violence.


"Try the dictatorship and you will see! Almost taken out of context, it's Macron's little sentence that begins to speak. This projection is not an oukase of the head of state launched to an anonymous as he could have done on work or politeness. The sentence was said Thursday evening on the plane bringing him back from Israel, during an interview. At the microphone of Radio J, the President of the Republic denounced "the extraordinarily guilty political speeches" which affirm that France has become a dictatorship and therefore justify, according to him, political and social violence.

"Today has taken root in our society - and in a seditious way, through extraordinarily guilty political speeches -, the idea that we would no longer be in a democracy, that some form of dictatorship would have taken hold", explains- he in this interview, broadcast this Friday morning.

And to continue: "But go into dictatorship! A dictatorship is a regime where a person or a clan decides the laws. A dictatorship is a regime where you don't change the leaders, never. If France is that, try the dictatorship and you will see! Dictatorship justifies hatred. Dictatorship justifies violence in order to get out of it. But there is a fundamental principle in democracy: respect for others, the prohibition of violence, hatred to be fought ”.

"Macron has a blast," says Mélenchon

Asked about the violence, the head of state ruled that "those who carry this violence, those who, with cynicism sometimes, encourage it, those who silence any reproach that must be forgotten very simple thing: we are a democracy ”.

The reply was not long in coming. "Macron farts," thundered Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Twitter, relaying the audio extract from the interview. The head of state "is solely responsible for all the violence", he then explained to journalists in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). "The violence is on the side of power and not on the side of the demonstrators or the strikers. And now he adds political violence […] it is really monarchical behavior, ”according to the deputy and leader of rebellious France.

The violence, he continued, is Emmanuel Macron who "creates it by a reform project which is pointless, secondly because he remained indifferent to the economic impact on the country, secondly because he was indifferent to people's suffering ”.
