Nadia Pellefigue's tenure was tagged on the sidelines of the demonstration of - DR

"El Khomri law, no forgetting, no forgiveness". This is what we could read on the window of the campaign room of Nadia Pellefigue, the candidate for municipal Toulouse, head of the list "A new energy" (PS, PRG, PC). A "word" left by the demonstrators after the passage of the procession of "yellow vests", Saturday afternoon, after that not very inspired from the previous week: "work, clean and shut up!" ".

It refers to the Labor Law brought by the socialist government of Manuel Valls. Who did not really count Nadia Pellefigue among his greatest supporters. The latter even believed at the time that these were "economic and social policies contrary to what the left has always defended".

This Sunday, the candidate regretted the degradation, preferring to play the card of humor. "The" political "purpose is unfounded and" artistic expression "is of questionable aesthetics. And yet, everyone knows that I am a defender of popular arts and especially graffiti! I put things in perspective, however: it is a matter of material inconvenience which will not prevent me from continuing to say what I am planning as a project for Toulouse and the Toulouse people, ”she reacted.

Like many Toulousain-es, I was shocked by the images of the demonstrations which took place in #Toulouse this Saturday, January 11, 2020.

During the week, she had sent a letter to the Minister of the Interior to denounce the violence, including that of the police on the previous Saturday, and to call for an end.

They respect nothing, neither #Toulouse, nor democracy, nor the candidates for # municipal2020. The anarchists have targeted the permanence of Nadia Pellefigue to whom I express my solidarity. I hope that we will be many to condemn these acts which should not be passed over in silence pic.twitter.com/ovS9Vh6Ide

It received the support of other candidates in the municipal elections. Whether it was that of the outgoing mayor, Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR), who denounced the work of anarchists, or even the ecologist Antoine Maurice, head of the list of Archipel Citoyen or the former mayor Pierre Cohen (Generation-s).

One can understand the angers and the demands faced with the brutality of power, but I will never condone the violence and the abuses that destroy democracy which is based on respect. All my support for @NadiaPellefigue at this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/QwpIa5CQGs
