Delphine Batho appeals to the responsibility of the government. “I am for non-violence, I have always said it and applied it to myself with great clarity”assures the MP Generation Ecology Delphine Batho to France Bleu Poitou: “I hear a lot of comments about what happened and I first appeal to reserve and dignity. There is someone who is between life and death, there are injured, some serious so that’s enough”
