“I can not say that I could have avoided this or that we are. in war, in total war. Our enemies have no taboo, no boundaries, no principles, “he added.



The Government forehead

Faced with criticism, the government front. Manuel Valls and Bernard Cazeneuve responded to criticism from Nicolas Sarkozy ensuring that “no government has done so far in the fight against terrorism,” a joint statement issued Sunday night.

The Prime Minister had already stepped into the breach in an interview with Sunday newspaper : “Some irresponsible policies say that this attack was avoidable. But zero risk does not exist. to say otherwise is lying to the French “, denounced Manuel Valls. Before estimating that “the response to the Islamic state can not be a” trumpisation “spirits.”



The coup de grace Juppe

These reactions have not been enough to calm the offensive from the right. Nicolas Sarkozy’s main rival in the primary from the right, Alain Juppe, said to be more measured, has dealt Sunday knockout stating that “if all means were taken,” the attack “would not have place”. “Of course to do more, to do better. First, regarding our intelligence services,” he said.

STORIES & gt; & gt; For Juppe, “we must move up a gear”

In the first line, Christian Estrosi was one of the first to react a few hours after the tragedy. “We need a jolt, I ask the government,” urged the president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and former mayor of Nice. “If the time is not the controversy, I ask myself questions of course. Why the state he announced yesterday [Thursday] at noon to lift the state of emergency and decided last night it must extend three months? All this seems very messy, “he said.



Guaino advocates the use of rocket launcher

At four months of the primary right in the viewfinder and 2017, some voices on the right are engaged in a real bidding war. The carnage could have been avoided, according to the MP Henri Guaino. “We must stop a truck that does not respond to the summons. (…) Just put at the entrance to the Promenade des Anglais with a military rocket launcher and it will stop the truck,” a-t- he called on RTL.

Henri Guaino expressed support for extending the state of emergency. But this regime unleashed the evening of the attacks of 13 November and whose Francois Hollande said on Friday the extension, is insufficient in the eyes of Frédéric Lefebvre, supports the introduction of martial law. MP from abroad French himself has indeed requested “the application of Article 36 of the Constitution and the transfer to the Minister of Defence and the military authorities of our civil security.” The siege goes back to the old regime and named after the status of the fortresses under siege whose military governor assured all powers. He was fired for the last time in France in 1939.

The FN in ambush

Meanwhile, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, chairman of the Standing France (DLF), ruled the state of emergency “necessary” but considers it “longer enough.” The Essonne MP reminds his ten proposals addressed to François Hollande, including “the systematic expulsion of foreigners convicted by the court at the end of their sentence.”

As for Marine Le Pen, she returned Saturday back to back left and right, responsible for “very serious deficiencies of the state” that would allow this type of attacks. The FN’s rise in the Nice region concerned party members Republicans who fear that this attack still promotes frontist rise. “The spirit of January 11″ has definitely fizzled.
