The activist expelled from the press conference of Marine Le Pen, elected in Boulogne, plans to file a complaint – archyde

“Everything happened very quickly, I remember that I barely got up, that I was tackled to the ground and that I said to myself Ouch my head. Then I let myself go, I let myself be dragged, because that’s what I learned alongside Alternatiba and Friends of the Earth, ”says Pauline Rapilly-Ferniot, environmental activist and municipal councilor of opposition in Boulogne-Billancourt, brutally exfiltrated, this Wednesday, from Marine Le Pen’s press conference dedicated to foreign policy in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. This Thursday afternoon, the activist was preparing to go to doctor. “I still have a headache and my neck is blocked, is it my body that releases everything or is there a problem, I don’t know. But depending on what the doctor tells me, it is possible that I will file a complaint. It is not decided but it is not excluded. If I have to go later to an osteo, a physio or other, I will file a complaint. If only for questions of insurance, “says Pauline Rapilly-Ferniot. As shown by the images of many journalists present at the press conference, the elected official was very quickly tackled to the ground when she had just stand up to hold up a sign in the shape of a heart bearing the image of the National Rally candidate and Vladimir Putin. “We are afraid that the fear of Le Pen is no longer strong enough” “With the Ibiza collective, we are afraid that Marine Le Pen wins in the second round, that there is no desire to block because people do not want to vote for Emmanuel Macron. We are afraid that the fear of Le Pen is no longer strong enough, which is why we have decided to devote all our energy between the two rounds to remember what the National Rally is, “explains Pauline Rapilly- Ferniot. In this case, on this action, the collective wanted to recall “the links between the candidate and Vladimir Poutine”. The activist is not at her first attempt. “I have already participated in several actions but I have never been mistreated to the point of having pain like this time. The last time was at the Macron meeting where we unfurled a climate criminal banner, we were taken out, that’s all, ”she continues. Madame le Pen wrongly accused a police officer, instead of a private security agent. I hope she apologizes to the police before the end of the campaign. pic.twitter.com/mLPBg4KXWL— Gérald DARMANIN (@GDarmanin) April 13, 2022 The case then became the subject of a confrontation between Marine Le Pen and the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin. Asked by BFMTV, the RN candidate explained that they were “Mr. Darmanin’s police officers”. Then, on the same channel, during a face-to-face between the interim president of the RN, Jordan Bardella, and the Minister of the Interior, it was confirmed that the one who tackled the activist to the ground was a policeman from the personality protection service and that the one who dragged her to the ground is a member of the RN order service. Gérald Darmanin then announced that he had replaced the official, after he was “insulted” by Marine Le Pen.
