Riots: "There are no longer any limits to violence", denounces Jordan Bardella

For Jordan Bardella, the ram attack on the home of the mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses on the night of Saturday to Sunday demonstrates it: "there is no longer any limit to violence". Guest of the “Grand Jury RTL-LCI-Le Figaro” this Sunday, the president of the National Rally concluded that all the representatives of “the French Republic” are now considered targets “for these rioters, for these criminals”. "They are not victims, they are criminals, who are privileged because they are precisely people to whom the Republic has given everything for years," he said. Adding: "The places where we have given the most public money are the most criminogenic places in France".

"We are facing people who want to kill cops," insisted Jordan Bardella, considering that "no lesson" had been learned "from the riots of 2005". According to him, the level of violence in recent days far exceeds the incidents of the time. “There is a contagion of the wildness of society”, he judged. The boss of the RN thus invites us not to "beat around the bush for hours": according to him, this situation would be "linked to a completely crazy immigration policy" which would have "ruined" the country.

If the RN wins the 2027 presidential election, Jordan Bardella is already promising that the government will expel all "foreign offenders". “We are going to do a lot of cleaning,” he assured. The MEP also wants the "criminal majority" to be lowered "around thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years" with more "closed educational centers for minors". To “empower parents”, Jordan Bardella also defends “the abolition of social allowances for parents of repeat minors”. “Because we cannot benefit from the fruits of national solidarity and at the same time compromise the republican order and civil peace in our society”, he underlined.

The president of the National Rally took the opportunity to target the left, and especially Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who in his eyes represents "a public danger" for not having condemned the riots from the start. “It's the rebel from his living room. It must have been a very long time since he lived in a public housing estate if he had already been confronted with it," he said, mockingly: "La France Insoumise could be called France incendiary. Since the beginning, she has done everything to incite insurrection and uprising against the republican order and the forces of order.

Jordan Bardella did not spare the executive either. He hopes that Emmanuel Macron will agree to receive Marine Le Pen at the Élysée Palace so that she "presents him the wall of reality". “In the second round, facing Marine le Pen, he said it would be him or chaos. We had him, with his politics, and the chaos,” he denounced. "Emmanuel Macron's France perceived from abroad a few months before the Olympic Games is a disaster", he also recalled.

Returning to the death of the young Nahel by a police shooting, at the origin of the riots, Jordan Bardella also wanted to underline to "contextualize the case": "A priori, when you do not drive without a license, when you do not commit not a refusal to comply, a priori, unless I am mistaken, you are not targeted by the police”.
