“It is also the place of elected officials to be there”, considers Clémence Guetté (LFI)

Several deputies from La France insoumise (LFI) were present at the demonstration in support of Adama Traoré, which took place on Saturday July 8. But the demonstration was banned. “It is a mistake to have banned this demonstration, which has been going on for 6 years, since the death of Adama Traoré, which is a demonstration in tribute, where his family demands justice and truth”explains Clémence Guetté, LFI deputy and vice-president of the LFI-NUPES group in the National Assembly, guest of the “4 Truths” of France 2, Monday July 10. “Given the context, given the death of Nahel two weeks ago now, a demonstration on the issues of police violence is essential. It is also the place of elected officials to be there”she adds.

“The power in place confuses the republican arc and the fact of agreeing with them”

The LFI deputies, in particular, were strongly criticized for their participation in this demonstration. “The power in place confuses the republican arc and the fact of agreeing with them, that, it is extremely serious”, believes Clémence Guette. A new mobilization should take place on Saturday July 15. If it is prohibited, will LFI elected officials go there anyway? “Yes, we will go there”she says.
