A brutal and unpleasant awakening for Pascal Bois, deputy La République en Marche for the 3rd district of Oise. At 3 a.m., on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, he was alerted by the firefighters who were responding to the fire in his vehicle parked in the garage of his property, in Chambly. "They knocked on the door to let us know that they were in the process of intervening," said the parliamentarian. The time to put on a coat and I went to see the damage. When he arrives at the end of his garden, the fire is already contained. “My Peugeot 508 was half charred and the garage frame half destroyed,” he says.
It was a neighbor who sounded the alarm.
"At the back of my farm, there is a small building and it is the neighbor on the ground floor who called the firefighters," said the parliamentarian.
She had been awakened by the abnormal sounds of the burning tires.
I heard cracklings in my sleep, but I thought it was rain, like the night before.

Even people who were unvaccinated or unconvinced about vaccination gave me their support.
They find it cowardly and despicable.
I find that unacceptable in relation to democracy.
You can be die-hard, defend ideas, but not that way, especially when, at the same time, these same people compare government policy to a dictatorship.

However, he had received a letter of threats accompanied by a bullet, in November, like six other elected officials in favor of the health pass. "It is true that I was rather spared, he admits. Apart from the letter with the bullet, I got nothing. My permanence in Méru is installed in a patio closed at night, so difficult to access. I do not know if yesterday
