The minute of silence observed at the National Assembly in tribute to Thomas, stabbed in Crépol, will not have calmed tensions. During questions to the government, this Tuesday, November 28, the deputies of the National Rally (RN) group left the Chamber as one man at a time when the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, accused the RN of recuperation after Thomas’ murder.
Questioned by Michèle Martinez, RN deputy for Pyrénées-Orientales, on this subject, the Minister of Justice decided to attack Marine Le Pen’s political party head-on. “You want to oppose rural and quiet, Catholic and white France to the France of cities, Mohammeds, Moulouds and Rachids (…) Your words are incendiary and they bring into the streets ultra-right activists who are much closer to you than to me! », blurted Éric Dupond-Moretti, in a long tirade, in reference to the multiplication of ultra-right gatherings. The Minister of Justice then added: “To be credible, clean up. Drive out from your ranks the ‘gudards’, the identitarians, the nazillons, the racists, the anti-Semites who are hidden in your economic offices.
The RN deputies did not wait for the end of Éric Dupond-Moretti’s response to leave the Chamber. Surrounded by her deputies in the room of the four columns, Marine Le Pen announced that she had decided to file a complaint against the Minister of Justice. “We will not allow ourselves to be insulted by any minister. Éric Dupond-Moretti’s comments are filthy, and by insulting us, he insults millions of French people. We don’t accept it! “, denounced the president of the RN group to the National Assembly.
