Paris (AFP)
Gilles Le Gendre, president of the LREM group in the National Assembly, on Wednesday called on opposition and agricultural unions to condemn the deterioration of permanences and threats against members of the majority.
"We are close to 25 or 30 degradations, with varying degrees of severity but for us, it is the symbol of a democracy that does not work properly," he said on Franceinfo, deploring "an extremely high bid dangerous. "
He found "quite amazing the deafening silence of oppositions on this subject" while "the whole of the national representation should be united to condemn".
The political class had unanimously condemned at the end of July, before the truce of August, the degradations of several permanences of deputies or premises of the LREM party, walled or tagged, even sacked as in Perpignan on the sidelines of a demonstration of "vests yellow ", after the ratification of the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement.
New degradations and threats have been noted in recent days in Montpellier, the Var or Moselle.
The degradation of the permanence of the LREM-Modem deputy of Vendée Patricia Gallerneau, who died on July 7, is equivalent for Mr. Le Gendre to "a profanation", and the poster "Wanted" to the address of the deputy LREM de Creuse Jean-Baptiste Moreau raises the question "if you want him alive or dead," he was alarmed.
Assuring that he did not make any "amalgamation" with a "tiny minority" responsible for these acts, he called for "the end of this series of attacks and aggression, that the various forces responsible, political or trade union, denounce them, just like us (LREM deputies), and that we can find the path of a peaceful dialogue ".
