“We have identified a certain number of profiles,” assures Gérald Darmanin

“We have identified a number of profiles of people who could have committed these acts of sabotage,” committed during the night from Thursday to Friday against SNCF TGV lines, assured Gérald Darmanin, Monday July 29. Invited on France 2, the resigning Minister of the Interior insisted on the fact that this“the sabotages were deliberate, very precise, extremely well targeted”. “This is the traditional mode of action of the ultra-left”he continued. When asked if “identified profiles” were close to the ultra-left, he replied: “We have to be careful (…), the question is whether they were manipulated or whether it was for their own benefit.”

During this interview, Gérald Darmanin also returned to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and the security challenge that the event presented.The most important, the most dangerous thing that was targeted was this ceremony that no one had ever done outside a stadium. We can say that we are rather confident about our security system.”
