While the far right, and some of its figures like Eric Zemmour, Jordan Bardella, will be Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in front of the town hall of the 19th arrondissement of Paris at a rally “for the victims” – but already called #ManifpourLola on twitter – Pierre Cordier affirms that for his part, he would not participate, because he will not be in the capital on Thursday.
The elected representative of the Ardennes calls for “distinguish between questions that can be asked of a minister and demonstrations in the street“, and specifies that it is “fundamental to respect the choice of the family“.”Right-wingers can go“, assures Pierre Cordier, who does not “don’t see why, as a citizen, we couldn’t go there to show our solidarity with the family: no one has a monopoly on heart“.
