“These demonstrators broke down the door of my office to get me out, they wanted to dislodge me. I had no choice but to get out”, relates the MP. There have been “hallucinating provocations of violence”, he added. “It strengthened my determination and if I backed down it would be proving these people right, because they are thugs”, hammered the elected representative of the Pyrénées-Orientales.
This is the second time in recent years that the Catalan MP has been targeted in his office. Its premises had already been damaged during a demonstration of “yellow vests” in July 2019.
