state of siege and palpable tension Tours Saturday outside the convention of the National Front ... The FN Citizen The event which took place Saturday afternoon in the streets of Tours against the policy of the National Front has mobilized more than 2,000 people.
For it to be recognized as a rejection of democratic citizenship and theses of the National Front,
this event should be a peaceful end to the other .
Unfortunately, arriving a few hundred yards from the police, part of which was a bit disproportionate, a small "splinter group" wanted to fight with the police.
These abuses carried out by some fifty people who had nothing to do with the event citizen,
should not tarnish the mobilizations held in Tours Thursday through Saturday.
For this, it should not be only the echoes of this senseless violence and undemocratic to be relayed by the national press. Faced with this violence, we must oppose all peaceful demonstrations were held peacefully and have been a resounding popular success.
Indeed, after a packed house at "Studios" on Thursday evening, the auditorium of the Faculty of Medicine was filled with about 500 people on Friday to come and participate in a reflection in the company including Jean-Pierre Dubois (League of Human Rights) and Edwy Plenel to dissect the history of the extreme right.
must be condemned as the policy advocated by the National Front that the violence that has suffered from this event Citizen. The policies advocated by the FN must be fought on political grounds and violence always leads to failure and it is essential not to fall into this trap.
But I'm more worried about reading the latest poll just published on voting intentions. While acknowledging that a poll is only one opinion of the moment that has nothing to do with a democratic vote, it should be noted two concerns:
• The first element is the score that could get Marine Le Pen in the first round of the Presidential (17 to 20 %), which could lead to a remake of April 21, 2002.
• The second, more worrying is that 43% of UMP supporters say they are ready for an alliance with local and national FN. Frontists voters, led by Marine Le Pen, say they are ready for their alliance with the UMP over 54%, which was not the case there is still little.
This survey shows great mistrust of citizens from "funny business" current policies and policies of both right and left who have resigned and are now unable to build a future for the French.
The UMP is a heavy responsibility
extension of the theses of the security discourse since FN Grenoble Nicolas Sarkozy who was the confusion between immigration and crime and the resulting laws since.
The Centrists, Environmentalists and the PS will also be a heavy responsibility if they fail to build an arch Republican able to oppose the rise of extremism.
