Toulouse: how the antifas want to torpedo the meeting of Eric Zemmour’s party
Stéphane Ravier and Gilbert Collard, two figures of the Figures of the party will be in Toulouse this Saturday. The antifa are trying to infiltrate it.
Internally, Eric Zemmour has been warned. The atmosphere will be hostile in Toulouse. The candidate for the presidential election has therefore not scheduled a visit, the far left being strongly present. The former journalist sends two figures from his Reconquest party to represent him. Stéphane Ravier and Gilbert Collard will be in Toulouse this Saturday, March 19 at the Pierre Baudis space, in Compans-Caffarelli. The absence of the polemicist was not enough to extinguish the ardor of the militants of the extreme left.
At first, they tried to “infiltrate the event” through the reservation that is made on the Internet. The goal was simple: an empty room. “2,200 false registrations were recorded for 800 real”, indicates the regional party leader, Chantal Dounot. The validated registrations have been scrupulously examined by the organizers. They are based on the 2,723 members of Reconquête in Haute-Garonne and the 6,278 sympathizers.
For Chantal Dounot, the action of anti-fascist activists is proven: “They seek to impose their vision of society by force and do not tolerate opinions other than their own. This is exactly the fascist behavior they denounce. »
A demonstration against the meeting
Contacted, the Antifascist Action of Toulouse admits “to oppose the holding of this far-right meeting” because “the ideas conveyed by this party are dangerous”. The reservation of false places “was not however an infiltration”, assures the activists. “We wanted to distort the number of reservations and disrupt their organization,” they confide.
This Saturday, a few hundred meters from the Reconquest meeting, several far-left organizations are calling for participation in a “counter-rally of the Antifascist Coordination Toulouse and surroundings”, at 6:30 p.m. in Arnaud-Bernard. The Antifascist Action of Toulouse assumes that there will always be “an opposition to the holding of their events”.
