“France killed my husband” by his “excess of tolerance”said the widow of the gendarme killed Monday evening in Mougins during a road check operation. A tribute ceremony took place Wednesday morning in Mandelieu-La-Napoule (Alpes-Maritimes), where the soldier was stationed.

Mind you, I am not talking about foreigners, but about repeat offenders.”said the wife of the police officer killed after a Cape Verdean who was legally resident in France but had already been convicted multiple times for traffic offences refused to comply.

The widow does not want political recovery
According to the Grasse prosecutor’s office on Tuesday, the suspect, aged 39, had ten convictions on his criminal record for “traffic violations” but also “attacks on people”After his arrest in Cannes, on the night of Monday to Tuesday, the reckless driver tested positive for alcohol.
Harmonie Comyn, with drawn features and a tense face, also paid tribute to her husband who died at the age of 54: “My husband was a caring man, a wonderful, fair and loving father. From our love that was going to caress its twentieth year, he left me two beautiful children, intelligent, kind and playful, just like their father.”
Harmonie Comyn clarified that she does not want any political exploitation of this case. The driver is currently in police custody for murder of a person in authority. A police custody that was extended Wednesday morning.
A statement widely relayed by the extreme right
This speech was obviously followed at Place Beauvau, at the Ministry of the Interior. Gérald Darmanin’s entourage noted the shadow of shock caused by these words on the networks. The video was relayed by Jordan Bardella, by dozens of elected officials of the RN, by Eric Zemmour who writes : “Politicians, through their inadequacy and their ideology, are letting the French die.”
“His courage in the face of this tragedy must make the government react urgently”, adds RN MP Julie LechanteuxSenator Stéphane Ravier continues: “Laxity is not the result of chance. It is the assumed political line of Macron’s party.”
The resigning minister Gérald Darmanin does not feel directly targeted by these words. “It is not the police and the gendarmes who are at fault”explains one of his own, “but the criminal policy, the way in which these road offences are punished”. Understand, it is up to Éric Dupond-Moretti, Keeper of the Seals, to answer him.
The Ministry of the Interior even proudly points out that thanks to the immigration law, an illegal immigrant is now liable to be expelled if he has committed crimes. Gérald Darmanin has promised to deport an additional 4,000 foreign offenders, an estimate that is difficult to verify.
The warrant officer’s widow does not want these remarks to be used for political purposes, but if Parliament were sitting today, there would be many questions to the government on this subject.
