The American model. In a Facebook post spotted by our colleagues from Nord Littoral , Christophe Marécaux, candidate for the municipal elections in Guînes (Pas-de-Calais) proposed that children start shooting to face "the Islamist threat." "

In the field, the unlabeled candidate (but RN regional advisor) had gone to visit the association "La patriote tir" at the end of January in Guînes, near Calais, in the Pas-de-Calais region. He first deplored that "this activity is increasingly threatened by European directives" before congratulating the association for "a year rich in results" and its "positive financial results".

"We're not going to let our throats be cut like pigs." "

He could have stopped there and there would have been no story. But Christophe Marécaux broke up with a strange questioning to say the least: "Isn't the education of our children in shooting, faced with present and future Islamist threats, a necessity?" He asked himself.

A slip? Not at all. Sunday, with our colleagues from France 3, the RN candidate justified himself by declaring: “we will not be allowed to be slaughtered like pigs. "
