De Villiers and Bigard: when bad tongues get out of hand

Since the police demonstration, the level of tension in politics has risen several notches.

Is it the start of deconfinement that makes them lose control?

Have social networks finished disinhibiting all public speech?

We are still a month away from the regional and above all a year from an obviously crucial election, and already the violence of certain declarations is throwing us into a not really civilized democracy.

Nicolas Beytout does not allude to the words of Audrey Pulvar who had found "chilling" the demonstration of the police in front of the National Assembly.

Gérald Darmanin reacted very quickly.

And reacted very badly.

With a defamation complaint against the head of the socialist list for the regional in Ile-de-France, a political error that many ministers and parliamentarians of the majority have accused him of.

The Elysee had not appreciated more.

In any case, this excess of zeal on the part of the Minister of the Interior created a strange climate.

If all politicians settled their debates in court, public life would take a terrible turn.

Conversely, we are hearing and reading at this very moment comments which, for their part, would certainly deserve a reaction.

We are talking about the violence of certain statements.

With two very recent examples of distressing slippages. One executed by a provocative professional, Jean-Marie Bigard. He took advantage of a demonstration of anti-vaccines to agonize insults Olivier Véran, the Minister of Health and Agnès Buzyn, who had preceded him at the ministry. Nicolas Beytout does not want to repeat his personal insults, they are at the height of this character who specializes in intense vulgarity. Marlène Schiappa preferred to put it all down to alcoholism. Except that all this took on another dimension when Bigard suggested replacing the health pass by wearing the yellow star. Not sure that we should let this kind of infamy pass. The other example is less violent, but no less worrying. It comes from Philippe de Villiers.

He made statements following the Mc Fly Carlito operation at the Élysée Palace.

It is an understatement to say that he clearly did not support the presence of Emmanuel Macron, last Sunday, on YouTube.

He has just published a text of inconceivable violence, talking about the antics of the Head of State, his rumblings and his logorrhea, like a sort of long cry of detestation against a President whom he had thought for a moment to have the ear.

Is it out of spite?

In any case, such a level of anger expressed with such brutality by someone who is followed by many French people, it is quite worrying.

Nobody, especially when one has a high idea of ​​the image of France, nobody has to gain that the policy is lowered to this point.
