“With each attack, we create a diversion and we do not see the root causes” denounces Nicolas Dupont-Aignan

After the attack on Saturday, December 2 near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the president of Debout la France denounces the blindness of the political class and calls for firmer laws to keep people deemed dangerous in detention.

“With each attack, we are told the same thing, we create a diversion and we do not see the root causes”denounces Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, deputy for Essonne and president of Debout la France, invited Wednesday December 6 on franceinfo, after the knife attack which took place Saturday on the Bir-Hakeim bridge in Paris and cost the lives of a 23 year old man.

“This man should have been in prison. Why did he only get four years in prison for plotting an attack on La Défense?”

The MP proposes several measures to avoid this type of attacks, “without even needing to change the law“. Firstly, the application of “article 411-4 of the penal code, which punishes with 30 years in prison for intelligence with the enemy” any person who would have prepared an attack linked to Islamism. A measure that Nicolas Dupont-Aignan recalls having requested during the 2017 presidential campaign.

Tougher proposals

In the text, this article in fact provides that the act “to maintain intelligence with a view to provoking hostilities or acts of aggression against France” or “providing means for undertaking hostilities or acts of aggression against France” to one “foreign power, company or organization” East “punished with thirty years of criminal detention and a fine of 450,000 euros”.

He continues and proposes “to imagine security detention, and to imagine that all S files for radical Islamism are examined, that foreigners are expelled as quickly as possible”.

A policy of which “we have the means, if we want it”provided “extract itself from the Court of Justice of the European Union, from the primacy of European law, and to have the courage of a constitutional revision so that France regains control of its destiny. France must regain its sovereignty”he concludes.
