The Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau (LR) recently welcomed the “fight” of which he said he was “very close” to the president of Némésis, provoking the indignation of deputies from La France insoumise on Thursday. Tuesday, during a conference on internal security, Bruno Retailleau wanted to “congratulate” Alice Cordier, president and founder of the collective present in the room, who had asked him to dissolve La Jeune Garde antifasciste, a far-left movement. .
“Congratulations for your fight. You know that I am very close to it,” declared the minister, comments that the person concerned described as “immense pride” on X, and which were criticized by several rebellious deputies. “So Bruno Retailleau openly admits to being far-right (if that wasn't already clear enough) and we must fight him as such,” posted on X Raphaël Arnault, LFI deputy for Vaucluse.
A xenophobic collective
“This is how Retailleau, Minister of the Interior, addresses a violent and racist far-right collective,” wrote the rebellious Clémence Guetté, vice-president of the National Assembly, on the same network. “Really, how can we not censor this government? », questioned LFI MP from Paris Sarah Legrain.
Bruno Retailleau “answered a question about the fight against the ultra-left and the explosion of anti-Semitism. This is what he said he shared,” retorted those around him. “After years of humiliation, bank accounts blown up, social networks censored, violence by far-left activists, incriminating articles. After all that I was congratulated by our Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau”, published on X Alice Cordier, at the head of this collective founded in 2019 and which presents itself as feminist.
-At the beginning of January, the municipality of Besançon announced that it had filed a complaint against the Némésis collective for having disrupted a ceremony of the wishes of the environmentalist mayor Anne Vignot. According to the municipality, two activists went to the scene and unfurled a banner proclaiming “Foreign rapists welcome”. They then distributed leaflets with an image of Anne Vignot, her name, and the text “Support for foreign rapists” before chanting “Vignot complicit” then posting the video of their action on their social networks.
Last April, two activists from the same collective held up signs during the city's carnival reading “Foreign rapists out” and “Free us from immigration”. The mayor had already filed a complaint and an investigation had been opened for “provoking hatred or violence against a group of people because of their origin or an alleged race”.
