"Seeing this paralyzed power go down, scum and indigenists who try to import racial hysteria into our home must be jubilant! ", RN chief Jordan Bardella said on Monday. President Emmanuel Macron and Interior Minister Christophe Castaner "let go of the police and the gendarmerie" under "pressure from a family of notorious delinquents and a few excited people," he added.

"Castaner demanding the police and tolerant with the thugs ... back to square one for this socialist," tweeted for his part the spokesman of the RN and deputy, Sébastien Chenu. He was referring to the "zero tolerance" advocated by Christophe Castaner on racism in the police, whose suspension will be "systematically considered for every suspicion proven" in the matter, and the abandonment of the so-called method of strangulation.

Sunday on France 3, the vice-president of the RN had affirmed that "if there are criticizable, condemnable behaviors, racist remarks which are held then they must be condemned with the greatest firmness. But the job of the Minister of the Interior is to support his officials ”.

An "extremely different" situation from the United States?
