The Minister of the Interior refused to organize a demonstration on the grounds that a rally of the same type had caused "serious disturbances to public order" in 2014.


"It's a provocation on his part

.

"

Like part of the left, LFI deputy Éric Coquerel denounced the ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Paris, announced Thursday, May 13 by Gérald Darmanin.

On Twitter, the Minister of the Interior justified his decision by recalling the

"serious disturbances to public order"

which

"were observed in 2014"

, during a demonstration of the same type.

"By doing that, Gerald Darmanin raises the risk of violence and clashes,"

said Eric Coquerel, Friday morning on France 2.

"France would be well advised to change its position"

"There were lots of demonstrations of solidarity for the Palestinians and for the peace process which went very well

," he said. The deputy for La France Insoumise also said

"very surprised that what is possible elsewhere is not possible in France"

, citing in particular the

"great demonstration in Chicago"

.

"I think that France would be well inspired to change its position in relation to what is happening",

advocated Eric Coquerel. Before asking:

"Why is this the only type of demonstration that is prohibited?"

. And to underline that

"the excesses which one can condemn"

in other demonstrations do not lead to their prohibition.

On the geopolitical level, the deputy of La France Insoumise believes that it is necessary

"to return to the source of the problem"

to put an end to the tensions in the Middle East

.

He advocates

“two states”

between Palestinians and Israelis with

“Jerusalem as a shared capital”

.

“There is a colonizing people and a colonized people. The tradition of France is to take into account what is happening there. This is not what she is doing for the moment, ”

he lamented.
