On the eve of the funeral of Mélanie Lemée, this 25-year-old gendarme killed in Lot-et-Garonne on July 4, her parents testify at the microphone of Europe 1. 

TESTIMONY

Unhappy, angry, but not in a spirit of revenge. The day after a white march and on the eve of the funeral of Mélanie Lemée, this 25-year-old policeman killed on July 4, her parents confided in the microphone of Europe 1.

"Anger does not mean revenge for us"

"I am angry of course, I just lost my 25 year old daughter", testifies the father of the gendarme on our antenna. "That said, anger does not mean revenge for us." "This guy, I have no judgment to make on him, at least not immediately," adds Mélanie Lemée's mother. "I don't know the past he had to get there, but what is certain is that his life is completely ruined."

"We carry the values ​​of living together"

"We carry the values ​​of living together and hatred or hate messages have no place in living together," added the father of the constable, who received the Legion of Honor posthumously. "And those who proffer it, whether on social networks or elsewhere, are mistaken. With hatred, we do not move forward. It does not allow individuals to flourish. And by doing this job, our girl did not carry hatred, "he insists. 

"Precisely, she put all her strength, all her conviction, to be able to help in her functions as a policeman." For Mélanie Lemée's parents, not wanting to take revenge is the best way to remain faithful to the values ​​and commitments that their daughter "had taken on returning to the police".
