INFO FRANCE BLEU – The author of the slap to Emmanuel Macron was released from prison in Valence – France Bleu

It is a discreet release from prison that was organized this Saturday morning at the Valencia penitentiary center. Damien Tarel left the establishment in a vehicle a little before 7 a.m., two hours before the scheduled time.

The authorities wanted to avoid an overly publicized exit. Because relatives and admirers of this 28-year-old Drômois had planned to come and welcome him. Would they have applauded or congratulated him as soon as they walked through the prison door? These images will not make the rounds of televisions and social networks.

A sentence of 18 months including 4 months in prison

The slap, it had had a considerable impact. On June 8, when the Head of State left the hotel school in Tain-l’Hermitage, he wanted to greet the people gathered behind bars. When he approaches Damien Tarel, the inhabitant of Saint-Vallier then hits the President of the Republic, “by instinct”, “to protest against the decline of France” explains the slap at his trial two days later.

He was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, including four months in prison. He will have finally spent three months behind bars.
