This speech was not unanimous. The left-wing and anti-fascist activist sphere sees this as a speech close to the extreme right, in particular because of the quote, taken word for word from that used by Jean-Marie Le Pen when he was president of the National Front in 2001.
“Great to recover the slogans of a person as exemplary as Jean-Marie Le Pen. It’s a mistake, I hope?”can we read among the comments under Ismaël Nuino’s Instagram post. Several left-wing groups denounce what they consider to be a “right-wing of the Engagés on security issues”.
What future for Belgian foreign terrorist fighters still in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad?
Ismaël Nuino defends himself: “Fighting against insecurity is neither right nor left. I am surprised to see some people trying to discredit my fight in Brussels. All the elements show us an increase in crime: harassment, attacks, shootings, drug traffickers. ..”
Concerning the quote, identical to that of Jean-Marie Le Pen and which arouses comparisons, the young MP explains: “I do not subscribe to or support any ideas of the extreme right. I fight them and will always fight them. This idea of security as the first freedom has been used by many politicians from across the political spectrum. In my opinion , security is an essential prerequisite to guarantee all other freedoms.”
