You always have to turn your thumb seven times before tweeting, to use an old adage.
The LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain learned this Monday at her expense.
Stuck on a train on Sunday evening for more than two laps at Marmande station (Lot-et-Garonne), the elected official saw fit to explain this delay by the supposed
“privatization”
of the SNCF on Twitter.
According to her, the railway company, which would no longer be totally public, would suffer the consequences:
“We know when we leave, never when we arrive.
Continuing her demonstration, Clémentine Autain affirms it:
“Since the England of
(Margaret)
Thatcher, we know how it ends, by a renationalisation.
All that for this...".
A plea that cannot be fair...since the SNCF is still owned by the State, a 100% shareholder.
In other words, the railway company has not been privatized, despite a gradual opening up to competition.
And the error obviously did not escape the critics of the rebellious MP.
The Minister Delegate for Transport Clément Beaune, for example, asked him for “
a little respect for the railway workers and the truth
”.
“
Yes, there is a lot to do and improve.
But it's better to start from the facts and not from the fake news
, ”he added, mockingly.
"But be quiet rather than lie,"
also vituperates former LREM deputy Stéphane Trompille.
Internet users, for their part, did not fail to make fun of the message of the Insoumise.
“How can you say such nonsense?
At least try to find out before saying such nonsense, ”
Treyens notably ironically on Twitter.
It must be said that the publication of Clémentine Autain did not go under the radar on the social network: in 24 hours, it was seen more than 2.7 million times.
