The day after the demonstration, she assures us that she is "still very stiff".

The deputy Bénédicte Taurine (LFI) participated this Thursday in Paris, in front of the general management building of Pôle Emploi, in a demonstration of the Peasant Confederation, when she was violently pushed to the ground by a police officer, after a charge to disperse the demonstrators.

The elected Ariegeoise said she was "shocked that a representative of the people, wearing his tricolor scarf could thus be jostled".

The stampede in front of Pôle Emploi during which the police officer catches the LFI deputy, from behind, and throws her to the ground was filmed by BFMTV cameras and shared many times on social networks.

Bénédicte Taurine.

It's surprising that you can throw someone who is wearing a tricolor scarf to the ground like that.

The demonstration was calm and the response disproportionate.

I am angry that a symbol of the Republic is brought to the ground in this way ”.

By throwing the rebellious deputy @BenedictTaurine girded with his scarf, was he acting on his own or on order?

The question arises because the office of Prefect Lallement directly ordered the collection and fines of 135 euros for each participant.
