REACTION
After the degradations of deputy MPs, a new stage was reached in the tensions between farmers and the Republic in motion after the ratification of Ceta, the free trade agreement with Canada. The face of Jean-Baptiste Moreau, deputy of the majority in the Creuse, was thus placarded in several places of the city of Guéret Tuesday, on posters stamped "Wanted" ("wanted"). "High treason, complicity in poisoning, licking jupiterian boots," can read in particular.
"There is nothing left but 'dead or alive', the price of the ransom and we are in the Wild West," reacted Jean-Baptiste Moreau to Europe 1. "But we are not in the West but in a democracy and I wonder what conception these people have of democracy and the role of parliamentarians, "he questions.
This is what has just been found on the grids of the county council. Only dead or alive is missing. I am yet easy to find and I have never refused an appointment. This stigmatization of the elected will end badly .. @ LCP @ LCIPolitique @ franceinfo @ franceinterpic.twitter.com / uZCuqdWX2j

The "opponents of the Republic and democracy"
This elected official, who had already seen his permanence walled by farmers at the end of July, now intends to file a complaint. "When it comes to open-court action, claimed, we can maintain the dialogue, so I did not complain after the permanence wall, but that is unacceptable. Poisoning me, it's plainly defamation, "he says. "It is out of the question to let these opponents of the Republic and democracy continue to express themselves," concludes Jean-Baptiste Moreau.
