“We are in the usual one-upmanship and escalation“, denounced Thursday, June 29 on franceinfo Ugo Bernalicis, LFI deputy from the North, while the president of LR Eric Ciotti demanded “the immediate triggering of a state of emergency wherever incidents have broken out“after the death of the young Nahel, 17, killed Tuesday in Nanterre by a policeman during a road check. For its part, the government assured that the triggering of the state of emergency, demanded by certain voices on the right , was “not an option considered today“.
>>> Death of Nahel: after the violence, the executive pressed by the contradictory injunctions of the oppositions
Ugo Bernalicis returns the right and the executive back to back. He points to the deployment of 40,000 police and gendarmes Thursday evening throughout France in anticipation of possible urban violence. “You prepare the confrontation and you yourself are in the escalation and not in the political response“, launches the deputy Insoumis to the address of the government and the media which relay the information. He considers that the members of the government “who call for calm, are organizing the chaos for tonight and for the days to come“. Ugo Bernalicis draws a parallel with the use of 49.3 for pension reform. The executive had “promised hand on heart not to use it. I put you a ticket that we will end in a state of emergency in a few days“.
“Find people after the event”
The elected LFI also stresses that “the vast majority of refusals to comply are for people who have faulty insurance or lack of license. So if we made sure they had the license or insurance, maybe we would have fewer refusals to comply.“. He wants to make it clear that he is not either “for the police to put themselves in danger to arrest the person at all costs“. He prefers “a hit and run and we try to find the person afterwards with the plate“registration.”There are ways to find people a posteriori, there are ways to investigate, without putting yourself in danger, without having to either kill people who are drivers or passengers.“
“Can we manage to be in a great accomplished democracy where there is no death penalty when driving a vehicle?“, asks Ugo Bernalicis again. “This is the subject that we must face politically.“
