Invited this Friday by Franceinfo, the head of the list of environmentalists for the European elections reacted to the attacks on schoolchildren that occurred on Tuesday April 2 and Thursday April 4. For the MEP, the answer lies in the praise of gentleness, the credo of her campaign.
“We are in a society in which there is too much violence. This is why I propose a horizon of gentleness in the face of this violence

There is a culture of violence in our society that we must fight against
