Éric Dupond-Moretti taken to task in the field… and on social networks!
Traveling for the regional, Saturday, in Péronne (Somme), the Minister of Justice was once again able to see the dangers of a campaign heavily orchestrated on Twitter and the Internet.
First, he and Agnès Pannier-Runacher suffered an algarade with the deputy (LFI) François Ruffin.
The exchange, muscular, is filmed by rebellious supporters and immediately put online.
A few moments later, while he was having a coffee on a terrace, it is with Damien Rieu, RN candidate for the departmental, that Dupond-Moretti has mesh to leave.
"You have seen the state of justice in France, do you have anything to do with walking around?
»Provokes his opponent, reproaching him for« walking his Rolex ».
The scene, also filmed, quickly went viral.
And the minister who let himself be drawn into invectives and insults of the same level, suffered in the wake of a slew of very critical comments on the networks.
"It turns to the Stations of the Cross"
“It is time for this campaign to end.
It turns to the Stations of the Cross ", comments a strategist of LREM, very annoyed to see how" the opponents manage to pull out of the game in this campaign, by smashing us thanks to social networks.
It's a butcher's shop ”.
Precisely, at the top of the state, the matter is taken very seriously.
In recent days, Emmanuel Macron has even repeatedly relayed his concern at the growth of violence conveyed in online comments.
Yesterday, on the sidelines of the G7, he even used for the first time the term “wildness” to denounce this phenomenon.
A term used last summer by Gérald Darmanin… and denounced at the time by a certain Éric Dupond-Moretti.

Despite this new controversy, the Keeper of the Seals assures him that he does not regret anything. "This moment and the video montage posted on social networks are the image of everything that the RN represents and that I denounce: lies about the facts, aggressiveness and manipulation", he confided to us last night. And his entourage to specify, to minimize the "bad buzz", that "on the ground things are going well". Even if the polls show that for the presidential majority, it still does not take off.
