The facts took place at the exit of the Gaillac gendarmerie where Emmanuel Macron went to discuss the deployment of 200 new gendarmerie brigades.
As he decides to greet the people who were waiting for him on the spot, Laura, educated in high school next to the gendarmerie, arrested the head of state.

The young woman later explained to BFMTV that she herself was also a victim of sexist and sexual violence but that she never dared to file a complaint because, according to her, "it never succeeds but also because there are there are men like that at the head of the state”.
The President of the Republic replied that he had just spoken about these questions with the gendarmes, declaring that he was "for the release of speech".
He also added: “at the same time to function in society you must have the presumption of innocence”.
