On Wednesday May 24, 2,000 to 3,000 elected officials and citizens marched to support the resigning mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique), victim of threats from far-right groups.
Elected officials and citizens came to greet the resigning mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique), Wednesday, May 24, in the afternoon. “I did not expect to see so many people to support me. For the past week, I have been caught in a media whirlwind”, said Yannick Morez. His resignation follows threats and an attack by far-right groups.
“This demonstration was cross-partisan”
For elected leftists, the Republic is in danger. Yannick Morez did not want to take part in this march, in order to remain politically neutral. Sandrine Rousseau, Jean-Luc Mélenchon or even François Ruffin marched among the 2,000 to 3,000 people in the town of Loire-Atlantique. Faced with this very united left front, some see it as a political recovery. A point of view refuted by the boss of the Socialist Party. “This demonstration was cross-partisan”assured Olivier Faure.
