At the initiative, the right-wing opposition group “Mieux vivre à Cachan”, relayed by the departmental councilor Antoine Madelin (LR-Libres!), Delegate for prevention and security, who, with the departmental majority, judges these "intolerable" words.

“The democratic debate does not allow spitting on our police, a fortiori on the part of an elected representative of the Republic.

Does his detestation go so far as not to appeal to them if he finds himself in danger?

»Asks this close friend of Vincent Jeanbrun (Free!).

It is the mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses and president of the majority group in the region, himself lieutenant of Valérie Pécresse, who posted on social networks a video taken from the municipal council of October 30.

MP Mathilde Panot defends the elected Insoumis

For the record, that evening, it was thanks to a question from the opponent Sébastien Trouillas on the region's new aid to equip the municipal police with lethal weapons that the deputy Insoumis, Dominique Lanoë, was intervened.

“I believed that the purpose of the police was to protect the population, not necessarily to have weapons to kill them.

Because that's the meaning in good everyday French.

"

An orchestration from the "far right", before being taken over by the police unions and then by the right, recalls the deputy (LFI) of Val-de-Marne, Mathilde Panot.

Which defends the elected representative of his party: “We are not against the police, of course.

But the question is whether we want an armed municipal police force with lethal weapons in our cities and the answer is no.

"

Antoine Madelin denounces "the deafening silence" of the mayor

In this turmoil, the chosen Insoumis is not alone.

The mayor (PS), Hélène de Comarmond, who also sits in the region, is also singled out for her "deafening silence", according to Antoine Madelin's expression, towards the words of the member of his majority.

Solicited by "the Parisian" a few days ago, the city's lawyer assured that it was "unfortunate remarks, a clumsy language on the part of an elected official who did not think they would have a such scope ”.

This Sunday evening, the PS federation of Val-de-Marne recalled in a press release “its full support” for the Socialists of Cachan, “insulted and threatened for several days”. The opportunity also for the first federal Jonathan Kienzlen, elected himself in the region, to condemn "the false assembly carried out by the regional right" with the video broadcast on social networks. "Lamentable political methods which dishonor public debate," he thunders.

Asked about the future "peaceful demonstration", the president, Olivier Capitanio (LR), said on the sidelines of the meeting at the departmental council on Monday, that he would not be present, having a prefectural meeting at the same time.

"It would be good for this deputy to explain himself and make amends, that might calm things down," he said, without wanting to "add fuel to the fire".
