Get your message across. For his first television interview since his appointment, Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of the Armed Forces, takes aim at the left-wing union at the end of the July 14 parade.
“Did our citizens know that the Nupes wanted to get rid of the military deterrence? I’m not sure,” the tenant of the Hôtel de Brienne told BFMTV on Wednesday afternoon.
“When we hear that ‘cops kill’, we really don’t understand”
La France Insoumise had proposed during the campaign “to open a debate on nuclear deterrence”. “Space deterrence would have the advantage of being much less deadly and irreversible. Then it could help reduce the risk on the ground,” Jean-Luc Mélenchon had also argued in his blog last January.
“There is a strong patriotism in this country (…) When we hear that ‘the police kill’ in Parliament, we do not understand well”, advanced Sébastien Lecornu on our antenna.
The minister refers to the words of the former presidential candidate who used this expression after the death of a passenger in early June in Paris, the target of police fire. The latter explained that the vehicle would have refused to comply with a control.
