The black gaze of Alexandre Benalla, condemned by justice. The former project manager at theELysée, a former close friend of Emmanuel Macron, left the hearing without a word on Friday, November 5. He was sentenced to three years in prison, one of which was closed for violence during the demonstrations of the 1er May 2018. For Simon Duquerroir, victim of Benalla, it is a relief but also a surprise. “He is still a great personality of the State, he says. “I am very happy with the decision rendered by the judges “.
During the 1er May 2018, Alexandre Benalla said he wanted to help the police in the face of dangerous demonstrators, “black blocs” according to him. “This is an argument to discredit the plaintiffs and legitimize your actions”, replied the court. Alexandre Benalla will not go to prison, however. If he does not appeal, he will have to wear an electronic bracelet in Normandy, at his mother’s home.
