Are “
hate
” and “
hate
” the same thing?
Monday, October 18, Patrick Jardin, father of Nathalie Jardin, murdered at the Bataclan on November 13, 2015, decided to file a complaint against the newspaper
Le Monde
.
In question, a portrait published the day before by the daily, initially titled “
At the trial of the attacks of November 13, the anger of a hateful father
”.
A defamatory and false text according to the person concerned.
Already, in 2018, a first portrait by
Le Monde
described a father “
on the road to hatred
”, focusing on his political convictions. As soon as it was published, the new article and its title were the subject of indignant comments from readers and Internet users, observing the editorial choice of
Le Monde
. “
Hatred is actually the corollary of love. We hate everything that threatens, kills or hurts what we love, and the more we love the more we hate. This father is normal and should not be ashamed of his hatred [...]
”, denounced a net surfer. "
Who can blame a father for having hatred for the murderers of his child?"
Another questioned.
Faced with these reactions, the title was subsequently modified by
Le Monde
, for “
The unlimited anger of a father
”.
Asked about CNews, the man returned to the controversial use of the term "
hateful
" by
Le Monde
from its title.
A biased choice, to "
discredit
[him] and
bring
[him]
back to the same rank as the assassins who committed these attacks
".

Forgiveness impossible
“
I cannot be indifferent to the murder of my daughter. Yes, I hate the people who committed this murder. But I have just as much hatred against the people who allowed this to happen,
”he explained on CNews. “
I am not calling for violent acts against Muslims. I am not calling to kill anyone,
”he added. “
They took my daughter from me, I had to sell my box. I am without a profession. Why do you want me to calm down? I will always have hatred because I lost my daughter. My life is screwed up. The end of year celebrations, I spend them alone. I will never calm down. They hurt me too much,
”he also said. "
I cannot understand that people who have lost an arm, a leg… manage to forgive.
I can't understand that
”.

"
One can not agree with my ideas, I accept it completely, on the other hand peddling nonsense and absolutely false things, I do not let pass
", he also declared on Sud-Radio.
Le Monde
insists in fact on the political convictions of Patrick Jardin, stressing that the man has been registered S since 2018 by the State. The newspaper claims that "
his name [appeared] in the entourage of a tiny ultra-right group, the Action des forces operational (AFO), whose members were planning to poison halal food
." "
Completely wrong
Replied Patrick Jardin, specifying that he had been part of a movement close to General Martinez for a few months before departing from it, and having never been part of AFO.
The father was also opposed in September 2018 to the concert of a rapper, Medina, in the hall of the Bataclan.
The newspaper
Le Monde
argues that the retiree would have planned to destroy the transformer of the concert hall if the project is maintained (the rap concert had finally taken place at the Zénith in Paris).
"
They will have to prove it
", replies Patrick Jardin.
