His lawyer intends to plead the release.
“Prepare yourself never to go out on the streets without protection service for the rest of your life, which I think is numbered. Someone will catch you sooner or later, that’s for sure.” It is for this threatening comment with regard to Édouard Philippe that a forty-something will appear this Thursday before the criminal court of Tours (Indre-et-Loire).
“A cry of fed up”
This “sympathizer yellow vest” had posted this message on February 29, 2020 under a video of the former Prime Minister, on Facebook, recalls The New Republic. He then reacted to recourse to article 49.3 to pass the pension reform bill. “A cry of fed up, a political demand but no more”, explained the defendant, in comments reported by the daily.
But Édouard Philippe’s cabinet lodged a complaint. The forty-something is tried for “threat to commit a crime or an offense against a person holding public authority”. His lawyer intends to plead the release. “We showed up at his house like he was a drug dealer that we came to search, regrets the lawyer near The New Republic. The method and the resources mobilized are completely disproportionate. “
