Our country is facing bad weather, health crisis, economic, terrorist threats …
In a storm, you need a course, a method and composure.
A frenzy of faux pas
However, the last two weeks have been madly agitated by a frenzy of missteps around the proposal of comprehensive security law and in particular on its article 24 which aimed to protect the police force by creating a new offense constituted by the fact of disseminating with a malicious aim their image or their identification.
First of all, this frenzy begins with an “original sin” due to a bill whose conditions of outcome have been insufficiently evaluated.
Then the turmoil of the press on this article 24, thus perceived as an attack on its freedom to inform and its independence.
Finally, the crazy episode of ending the crisis with the announcement of the creation of absurd committees to rewrite this article, already voted by the National Assembly and already sent for examination to the Senate in accordance with the Constitution.
Cold blood and method
This succession of missteps has engendered a frenzy of political and legitimate disavowals on the part of the Presidents of the Senate and of the National Assembly, and finally a dangerous and perverse exploitation by the ultra-left which seized this opportunity. to provoke unacceptable violence during the protests last Saturday.
Heavy weather cannot be a pretext for inaction.
And action must prevail over conservatism, but when society is nervous and agitated, composure and method are needed more than ever.
The tree that hides the forest
However, article 24 of the bill on comprehensive security has become the tree that hides the forest. This forest is none other than unacceptable violence against the police and the need to affirm the laws of the Republic. It is now necessary to take height to overcome these media and political frenzies which seriously endanger democracy.
We must call for a leap of reason in the face of the agitation society, the emotion that we never cease to experience with social networks.
