It’s my fault Tristan Riom

He also made his mea culpa: “What happened after my message ashowed another face of this demonstrationwhich in fact was violence as a mode of action, and that for once obviously I do not agree, defends the fifth deputy at the center of the controversy. If I had known it was going to turn out like this, I wouldn’t have tweetedwho signaled this demonstration, that is clear. I think I didn’t have enough elements, maybe I did a bad analysis of the situation“.

When a politician apologizes for making a mistake and says so with humility, I rather believe that it is useful for democracy; -Johanna Rolland
This Monday during a press briefing before the municipal council, Johanna Rolland, the mayor of Nantes, wanted signal the end of the game. “Tristan Riom explained himself. He was obviously not present at this demonstration. He saw this demonstration. He believed that it was a demonstration directed against the extreme right after having exchanged with a few people.He admitted his error in judgment and analysis. He even apologized to the residents and stakeholders involved. I believe that was absolutely necessary to clear up any misunderstandings. I now believe the chapter is closed. And I’ll tell you: I think that when a politician apologizes for making a mistake and says it with humility, I rather think it’s useful for democracy. I consider the chapter closed.”
