“I am appalled to see that justice does not recognize either the terrorist nature or the racist nature” of the knife attack which took place at Gare de Lyon last Saturday, was immediately outraged by Jordan Bardella, president of the Rally. national, at the microphone of RTL this Tuesday, February 6. A man of Malian nationality attacked and injured three individuals with a knife and a hammer in the Paris train station on the morning of February 3. “This individual has expressed his hatred of the French and of France on several occasions on social networks,” continued the president of the RN. By proposing: “I am therefore in favor of putting doors back at Maison France.”
For Jordan Bardella, this drama should invite the authorities to “reestablish border controls for non-European nationals”. Indeed, “this individual [the main suspect in the knife attack] obtained papers on a regular basis and this allowed him to move freely within the Schengen area. It’s a problem,” insisted Jordan Bardella, before mentioning the insecurity figures for the month of January which are “overwhelming”. There are “120 knife attacks per day and 1000 assaults daily,” he said again. “We need a security, migratory and penal turnaround.”
Jordan Bardella also made a point of recalling the upcoming date of the European elections: “There are elections in four months and it is up to the French people to address government censorship,” he declared. “The French must go to the polls on June 9. And if we come out on top, it will be necessary to dissolve the Assembly,” he continued, describing this vote as “mid-term elections”.
“Everything that the French endure in their daily lives is decided in Brussels,” continued the party president, citing pell-mell: “agriculture”, “immigration policy” and “the cost of energy” . “All of these European rules are supported, accompanied, voted for and implemented by Emmanuel Macron.”
Jordan Bardella, however, remained discreet about the composition of his list for the European elections. By simply mentioning “people from civil society” and people from “other political parties”, without giving names. In any case, “it is a list which will demonstrate its competence”, he further assured. Before declaring: “I am preparing the National Rally for the exercise of power.”
