The Minister of Higher Education Sylvie Retailleau announced, on Sunday April 27, a complaint against Jean-Luc Mélenchon, after the leader of LFI drew a parallel between the president of the University of Lille and the Nazi Adolf Eichmann. “My ministry will file a complaint for public insult before a public official”she said.
The former presidential candidate had mentioned the Nazi war criminal on April 18 during a meeting in Lille, organized in the middle of the street after two refusals of rooms by the prefect and the president of the university. “‘I didn’t do anything said Eichmann. ‘I only obeyed the law as it was in my country’. So they say that they obey the law and they implement immoral measures which are not justified by anything or anyone.”he declared.
“The majority of debates and conferences are held in our universities where the presidents are there to ensure everyone’s safety”she added. “Why was the conference canceled at the University of Lille, after having allowed it, because there were also demonstrations that were going to take place and the president [de l’université] was informed that there was a risk to public order”, according to Sylvie Retailleau.
