“Louis XVI, you have been beheaded. Macron, we can start again. These remarks, chanted on Sunday during a surprise demonstration at the initiative of La France insoumise, created controversy. One of his declaimers is indeed an elected official.
This is the related Île-de-France regional adviser LFI Christophe Prudhomme. Emergency doctor at the Avicenne hospital in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis), this national CGT Health delegate was one of the well-known figures on television sets during the Covid-19 pandemic.
A video obtained by BFMTV shows the regional councilor, tricolor scarf on the jacket, singing this slogan among the other demonstrators who were gathered in front of the Renaissance party headquarters in Paris.
“Kind of catharsis”
The sequence caused a strong reaction. The president (LR) of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse, condemned “firmly” this Monday morning “this call for violence and hatred against the president”, who “dishonours” the “mandate of regional councilor by Christophe Prudhomme.
Will the chosen one be sanctioned? Vincent Jeanbrun, president of the Île-de-France Rassemblée group (right and center), majority in the regional council, pleads in this direction. “At our next meeting, I will ask that our assembly be able to take a sanction against him. In Île-de-France, we fight violence and we respect ALL elected officials, ”he wrote on Twitter.
Asked about BFM TV this Monday, the main interested party explained that it was a “sort of catharsis”. “I prefer that anger is expressed verbally”, thus justified Christophe Prudhomme, affirming that it was not “the man who was attacked, but the function”. “We have the right, today, I think, to express our anger. It’s symbolic, it’s political, ”added the elected official.
