Words once morest words. This Monday, January 10, visiting Tende, a village on the mountainside located at an altitude of 800 m hit by storm Alex fifteen months ago, the President of the Republic found himself facing an insulting inscription, brandished by a young woman present in the crowd to express her opposition to the vaccination pass.
While the president thanked a person who had offered him a hat right next to her, Justyna presented herself in front of Emmanuel Macron, staring at him without batting an eyelid. On the palms of his hands brandished in front of him these few words, taken from an interview with the president in our pages: “Je t’ammerde”.
The expression has recently been inscribed on placards, even sung during demonstration once morest the vaccine pass. A clear reference to “the desire to piss off the unvaccinated”, this sentence Emmanuel Macron confided to our readers in an interview published on January 4. Justyna told BFMTV that she took the road from Saorge, a quarter of an hour from Tende, to return these words to its author, in the midst of the crowd.
The president left the scene immediately following this incident. Before leaving, he sent a last “thank you”, followed by an encouragement and an injunction to protect yourself once morest the Covid-19, without the angle of view of the scene, filmed by BFMTV not allowing to understand who he was addressing.
Elected officials, target of radical anti-vaccines
“I did not want to say anything to him, just that he sees the message”, specified Justyna, questioned by BFMTV a few minutes later. “I wanted to show him Fuck you as he dared to say Fuck you all, regarding the unvaccinated, which is not very correct in the mouth of a president, ”she asserted.
“We can be moved by familiar forms that I fully assume” estimated the President of the Republic, three days following his shock statement, all insisting on the need to impose health constraints on people who refuse the vaccine. . “He does not have to force us to be vaccinated,” Justyna retorted on Monday.
If this event did not have any undue repercussions, the government is worried regarding the rise in violence of a radicalized fringe of anti-vaccines. This weekend, the LREM deputy for Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon Stéphane Claireaux received projectiles at his home, launched by anti-pass demonstrators. Elected officials who vote for these restrictions regularly receive threats and insults.
