One wonders why he wasn’t summoned earlier to explain that it’s not possible to interfere in judicial proceedings. As a reminder, American personnel approached a magistrate in connection with the trial against Le Pen.
“We reject any attempt to use this tragedy (…) for political purposes”
At least from foreign influence I guess, our internal fascists can go on
Do US ambassadors know that their job is to be diplomatic
The criminal father in law of Trump daughter ?
Poor young boy, murdered by the evil antifas, fifteen people against one !
Hold on… Apparently they were 15 against 15.
Wait… New elements show the poor boy and his innocent nazi friends had improvised weapons and were approaching a peaceful conference.
Probably to offer them flowers. I mean, “improvised weapons” can mean anything, so it probably was a bouquet of flowers.
Anyway, now back to the nazi march in solidarity with their poor comrade’s murder. Where… Erhm… Are they doing nazi salutes on the streets? Oh, it can’t be that bad, considering the préfecture authorized the nazi march.
Of course it is important to remind that killing your political opponents isn’t right no matter the case. For instance, over the last years the far-right killed a dozen of people while the far-left killed one single innocent boy probably holding a bouquet of flowers.
Damn political extremes! They’re both *exactly* the same !
Downvote me all you want but I don’t have sympathy for him, just like I don’t have sympathy for Charlie Kirk.
Some might call this FAFO for the far right
Oh, the Americans have started playing their usual game: blow the scandal sky- high and drive a wedge through society.
Their strategy is simple: hammer home everywhere that an innocent citizen was killed and the authorities are trying to cover it up.
If the sentence is lenient, the Americans will say: “See? We told you so.”
If it’s harsh, they’ll say: “See? We managed to draw attention, and the authorities had no choice.”
And of course, what they really want is to boost the far-right in France’s future parliament and end up with a French president who’s dependent on the U.S.
