“The French will get tired of these demonstrations”, considers the president of the Renaissance group in the Senate François Patriat

“The French will get tired of these demonstrations, which are despite all violent words“, estimated Monday April 24 on franceinfo the president of the Renaissance group in the Senate François Patriat, about the “casserolades” and other demonstrations observed during the trips of ministers and elected Macronists since April 17 and the promulgation of the pension reform by Emanuel Macron.

“This is an unacceptable situation, with ministers, elected officials prevented from performing their duties“, denounced the senator from Côte-d’Or. “There are often few people present, a few dozen people, a few hundred. They are minority people, even if there is anger in the country“, he added.

“It’s a form of bullying“, continued François Patriat. “We must file a complaint because these people are totally unpunished. If these people are upset, there’s a way, it’s the ballot“.

“The degree reaches a form of hatred and violence that has not so far been equaled”, continues François Patriat. But “once past May 1st and May 3rd, I believe that inexorably, this kind of demonstrations is called to decrease“, finished the senator, calling on ministers to “don’t give up, don’t hide“.
