“And why do it ? : because in the period ‘yellow vests’, these are they who have kept at arm’s length the survival of the regime. And since this date, Mr. Castaner said ‘yes’ to everything they say and everything they do and is incapable of having the authority”, he estimated.

Hatred antiflics

By contrast, the police, as indeed in all other professions, is not immune to certain individuals who actually are a racist expression”.
“What worries me, it is this fracture that there is in French society, with this double risk, double jeopardy: on the one hand, this hatred antiflics that will cause a lot of problems in terms of security and maintaining public order, and the other, actually of excess in what can sometimes be aberrations in individual forms of racism that are totally unacceptable”, he continued.
