Four days before the first round of the legislative elections, and faced with the breakthrough in the polls by the left-wing Nupes alliance around Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the executive continues to accuse the Insoumis leader for his recent harsh criticism of "the police who kill ".
Visiting the Tarn this Thursday to invest the subject of security in rural areas, the President of the Republic said "not to accept" that we "insult" the police and castigated "the extremes" who " add crisis to crisis”.
Emmanuel Macron first paid tribute to the gendarmerie and to Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, who died in 2018 by replacing a hostage in Trèbes, before attacking, without naming him, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
“There are things that from where I am, I cannot accept, it is that we insult those who risk their lives to protect ours”, he claimed.
"Let's choose republican clarity"
To support his remarks, the Head of State announced a reinforcement of the security forces in the Tarn and the deployment of 200 gendarmerie brigades throughout the territory.
An announcement that will contribute to the realization of "the commitment to double, by the end of the decade, the presence of our police forces on the public highway".

Criticizing the "extreme" who "propose to add crisis to the crisis by going back to the great historical choices of our Nation", Emmanuel Macron asked the French to grant him "a strong and clear majority" in the legislative elections.
“Let us make the solid choice of republican clarity without concession in conscience”, launched the president to Puycelsi.

“There is no magic money”
“We need to follow the path of consistency, competence and trust,” he added.
And to attack the Nupes and the RN of Marine Le Pen who want, according to him, "to reconsider the alliances which, like NATO, ensure collective security and protect the peoples" at the moment "when I speak with Russia which massacres the civilians in Ukraine”.
The head of state also criticized the economic projects of his opponents.
"There is no magic money", he repeated, believing that those who do not specify the financing, will do so by "hidden taxes or by a debt which will further weaken" the country .
