“A desire to impress and intimidate”, criticizes Gilbert Collard, former deputy for Gard

Gilbert Collard, former deputy for Gard under the banner of the National Rally which he left in 2022, protested against the demonstrations organized throughout France against the far right. “When we disagree in a democracy, we go to vote. When we are fascists, we take to the streets. I find that these demonstrations have a side of wanting to impress and intimidate”he declared on the set of 19/20 info.

The president of Alternative France insists: “Using the streets in a democracy, when we want to participate in an election where only the vote has meaning, it is a fascistic historical process. In this demonstration there were abuses, slogans like ‘Killing a cop is’ is one less vote for the RN'”. According to him, the weekend’s demonstrations should not slow down the National Rally and on the contrary strengthen it, citing specific facts such as “black blocks destroying the front of the Harley-Davidson store”.
