The police check which led to the death of a young woman, Saturday June 4, in Paris, took a political turn after the remarks made by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

After having made very harsh remarks towards the police, Jean-Luc Mélenchon “persists and signs”, explains the journalist Christophe Gascard, Tuesday June 7. “I say it, it is not normal that we kill for a refusal to comply”, said the leader of the left alliance in the legislative elections, at the microphone of France Inter. Jean-Luc Mélenchon refers to the police check which led to the death of a 21-year-old woman on Saturday June 4 in Paris.

“These remarks did not calm the debate, quite the contrary. Many reacted, starting with Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne”notes Christophe Gascard. “Jean-Luc Mélenchon succeeded in creating a media frenzy”, analyzes the journalist. Marine Le Pen (National Rally) and Xavier Bertrand (Les Républicains) notably denounced the statements of the leader of La France insoumise.
