Devant le Bataclan, Zemmour accuse Hollande de n’avoir «pas protégé les Français»
This is a new controversy signed by Eric Zemmour. Two days after the testimony of François Hollande at the trial of the attacks of November 13, 2015, and while France pays tribute this Saturday to the victims, the polemicist severely attacked the former president on Friday evening during a trip to Bordeaux. He then went in the evening in front of the Bataclan, in Paris, where he reiterated his remarks against the former president, ignoring the sacred union on this 6th anniversary of the attacks of November 13.
“The former President of the Republic himself said that he knew that migrants would even have infiltrated among migrants and he did not stop the flow of migrants (…). So François Hollande did not protect the French and a criminal decision to leave the borders open, ”said the polemicist in front of the concert hall where 90 people were killed.
Earlier in the day, Eric Zemmour had already attacked François Hollande: “He knew that there would be terrorists but he did nothing. He was aware of the danger and he preferred that the French die rather than prevent migrants from entering France, ”said the candidate, not yet declared for the presidential election, from the podium.
Words “lamentable” and “unworthy” for the victims, “insulting” for François Hollande and “false”, reacted Juliette Méadel, the former secretary of state in charge of victim assistance.
Asked by BFM, François Hollande commented to him: “I ask that everyone be up to what these civil parties, these victims express, not a need for revenge but a need for justice, truth, clarity. The rest is overbidding, controversy, even excess ”.
“They made war on us, we responded”: heard as a witness at the high-security trial of the attacks of November 13, 2015, former President François Hollande justified his foreign policy in the Middle East and responded to controversies.
“We did not know where, when and how they were going to strike”
Right at the helm of the Special Assize Court of Paris, dark suit over a white shirt, François Hollande recounted his November 13th and explained the decisions taken “during that fatal night”, but also those of the months that had him. preceded and followed. “Unfortunately, we did not have the information that would have been decisive in preventing the attacks”.
Since the January 2015 attacks, “every day we have been under threat. We knew there were operations being prepared, individuals mingling with the flow of refugees, leaders in Syria. We knew all that, ”explains François Hollande. “But we did not know where, when and how they were going to strike,” he insists on several occasions. “We were waged at war and we responded,” insists François Hollande.
The Islamic State “struck us not for our modes of action abroad, but for our ways of life here”, underlines François Hollande, for whom “democracy will always be stronger than barbarism” .
