Violence: Macron evokes in the Council of Ministers a "process of decivilization"

Emmanuel Macron compared, this Wednesday, May 24 in the Council of Ministers, violence "whatever the cause" to a "process of decivilization", according to a participant in the meeting, confirming information from the Parisian.

«

We must be intractable on the substance. No violence is legitimate, whether verbal or against people. We must work in depth to counter this process of decivilization, "said the President of the Republic, according to this source.

A "challenge to society"

This expression is intended as a "challenge of society" on itself, because "the politician is not the only responsible," explained in addition a close to the head of state quoted by the Parisian. Even if violence, against elected officials or public officials, is not always of the same nature, Emmanuel Macron stressed that there was "no violence that is justifiable, ever, in a society, whatever the cause".

Government spokesman Olivier Véran was concerned, the day after the death of a nurse at the University Hospital of Reims, the absence of "restriction, ability to respect the one who saves the lives of people and oneself". A minute of silence, in the presence in Paris of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, was observed in all hospitals in France in memory of this nurse, Carène Mezino, killed by a man suffering from psychiatric disorders. "Let us ask ourselves about a society in which people who care, who take care, people who wear the gown, people who devote their days, their nights, to preserve the health of others are threatened. There is not even this limit, this restriction, ability to respect the one who saves the lives of people and oneself, "said Olivier Véran to the press at the end of the Council of Ministers.
