Denouncing the "factious", the boss of rebellious France strongly criticized the police unions. He also described as "extremely serious" the upcoming publication of a new military forum.


Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who rebelled against the platform of thousands of former soldiers published on the site-armes.fr site and then relayed by

Current Values

, expressed on BFMTV this Sunday of his concern because of the publication at come from a second military forum, this time active, which is being prepared for the same weekly.

To read also: Tribune of the generals: "To the false indignation, let us prefer the measure and the reason"

"

It is a situation of extreme gravity

", released the boss of rebellious France who denounced the "

factious

" who would be part of the Armies. "

They are cowards in addition to being factious,

" he said, referring to the fact that the signatories of the new forum will remain anonymous, given that they are required, as active soldiers. , to reserve duty.

"

We must purge the army of factions,

" he hammered, repeating this word more than ten times during his interview. The deputy for Marseille also regretted that the complaint he had lodged against the signatories of the first platform was dismissed by the public prosecutor. Jean-Luc Mélenchon saw in this text a "

call to insurrection

" contrary to the law, forgetting a little quickly that he himself had called for an insurrection in 2018. A sentence of the soldiers particularly retained the media attention: "

If nothing is done, laxity will continue to spread inexorably in society, ultimately causing an explosion and the intervention of our active comrades in a perilous mission of protecting our civilizational values ​​and safeguarding our compatriots on the national territory

”.

"

Putsch

"?

Jean-Luc Mélenchon considered that the mention of “

the intervention of our active comrades

” represented a call for a “

putsch

”. However, this is not obvious: if the words of the signatories are ambiguous, they do not formally say that they want active military intervention on national soil, but warn that this could happen if the situation was deteriorating. Implicit reference to the “

state of siege

” provided for by the Constitution in the event of “

imminent danger

” and which consists in particular of a transfer of police power from the civil authority to the Armies, this transfer being decided by the political power.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon declared to have appealed against the decision of the public prosecutor and to have asked the President of the Republic to “

take sanctions

”, contradicting himself in passing since he had just welcomed the disciplinary sanctions already announced by the chief of the Army staff, General François Lecointre, against the rare active soldiers as well as the generals in the second section who signed the first forum. "

Emmanuel Macron must do better than discussing with the chiefs of staff

», Criticized the left-wing leader, alluding to the very noticed setting in scene Sunday of the Head of State during the commemoration of May 8, 1945. On the sidelines of this, the president and the chiefs of staff the different weapons gathered in a circle to discuss together for a few moments, a gesture which was analyzed as a presidential response from the military platform to reaffirm the close link between Emmanuel Macron and the Armies, yet undermined from the start of his five-year term following the sensational resignation of the previous Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, General Pierre de Villiers.

Also reacting to the murder in Avignon on Wednesday of a police officer and father, Brigadier Eric Masson, for whom tribute is paid this Sunday, Jean-Luc Mélenchon condemned the crime but called for the country to keep its "blood cold ”, denouncing the weight of the police unions, which he described as“

extreme right

”and, again,“

factious

”. "

The Republic is not negotiated in the barracks and in the police stations

", he blurted out while specifying that "

the troops, the officers are republicans

" but "

are taken hostage

" by "

a handful of agitated

" .
