The Arrest of Patria Albiges Members, Including Son of National Rally Deputy, Sparks Controversy in Albi

On Saturday June 10, three members of the Patria Albiges identity group were arrested in Albi (Tarn) when they had just posted signs in the city’s parks, the racist nature of which is being studied by the courts. Among them was the son of the deputy of the National Rally, Frédéric Cabrolier.

After the rapper Médine, the controversy over the refugee reception center in Réalmont (Tarn), the identity group Patria Albiges was again talked about on Saturday June 10. “Using the drama of Annecy, they posted signs on the city parks (of Albi) announcing the closure of these parks due to immigration. An action that the small group has claimed.”

On their social networks, far-right activists have indeed shared a video featuring three of them during their action.

But as the local daily reports, “a local resident saw them and called the police. A patrol arrested three people and took them to the police station. In connection with the Public Prosecutor, a procedure could be opened according to the offenses which could be retained by justice.”

Among the three young men arrested, one of them presents a surprising profile. According to our information, it is Clément Cabrolier, the son of the deputy of the Rassemblement national tarnais, Frédéric Cabrolier. Contacted, the chosen one confirms: “yes, he told me about it. It bothers me that he got arrested. Afterwards, no one died. There is no fight. It’s just a poster. I do not know more. I’m sorry. It is a provocative poster. I would have done without. I’m the first sorry.”

The elected member of the National Rally also acknowledges that he knew that his son was attending Patria Albiges: “It is not a driving force of Patria Albiges either. But I have nothing to do with them. It’s a rebellious youth, but I would prefer that they express themselves politically. My son has listened to me very little for a long time: the proof, he is not at the RN. After that, there is no death of man, there is no fight, it’s just a poster. I do not know more.”

The information may seem unimportant, but it questions the events that have taken place in recent weeks in the department. Whether it’s the ban on the concert of the rapper Médine in Albi and the opposition to the installation of a reception center for asylum seekers (CADA) in Réalmont, Frédéric Cabrolier and the identity group have been strongly mobilized: to the deputy the public word, to Patria Albiges the mobilization on the ground.

In May, attacked by the left, the deputy RN defended himself, on his social networks, to be at the initiative of this mobilization. “I am not at the origin of this demonstration and I will not go there, the day before, I will plead for the abolition of this CADA in Réalmont during a meeting at the prefecture.”

The left and the far left will take over as they always do, believes Frédéric Cabrolier. It affects the father more than the politician. But what is there to reproach me for in this story? Political low blows, some will not fail to do so. I will sue anyone who throws my son away. Clément has my full consideration: at 25 years old. When you’re young, it’s time to make mistakes. I hope it won’t go any further.

The story doesn’t seem to be over yet. Albi town hall has decided to file a complaint against the three young members of Patria Albiges.
