The urban violence which followed on Monday three punitive expeditions of Chechens wanting, during the weekend, to avenge one of their attacked in Dijon, sounds like " a warning ", estimated Marine Le Pen, who went to the capital Burgundian. " Let those who refuse amnesia remember the descent into hell of the gentle and placid Lebanon which plunged into a terrible war that foreign factions had imported, " added Ms. Le Pen at a press conference held near the train station.

" It is not only a question of interposing between two communities but of putting an end without weakness to this sinister sequence ", hammered the head of the RN. Communitarianism no longer hesitates to assert itself - as we see in Dijon and Nice - through parades of armed groups acting in full view of everyone. We have gone one step too far, ”she said.

" There is no worse fate for a country than civil war ," she said. Marine Le Pen condemned the strategy of non-intervention by the police who, between Friday and Sunday evening, made " no arrests " when dozens or even hundreds of heavily armed Chechens had taken over certain areas of the city.

This non-intervention is a " permanent strategy ", she accused. It is she who is " putting Paris on fire and blood, " she said in reference to the excesses that followed the demonstration of caregivers in the capital. Marine Le Pen did not go to the sensitive area of ​​Les Grésilles where tensions arose, citing the lack of time.
