Misunderstanding in certain policies
His gesture aroused strong reactions. On X, Bruno Retailleau evoked a “unworthy and miserable” gesture which “undermines the memory of those who died for France”.

Several deputies of the national rally have also shown their indignation in the face of this gesture. The MEP RN, Matthieu Valet, sees a gesture that “defiles the memory of our soldiers who shed their blood for our freedom. Respect our dead,” he wrote on X.
MP RN Laure Lavalette shares this misunderstanding. “How can such a profile benefit from a residence permit?” wonders the elected official. Deprived of valid paper, the suspect will therefore be in an irregular situation and should be the subject of a distance from French territory.
