SHINI greeted a mayor who, according to him, had come to the site to protect young people by relying on his status, as he believed they would not dare to confront him. He felt that the elected official was thus responding to a long-standing demand from the French towards their political leaders: to take action on the ground rather than just talking. SHINI contrasted his presence with that of people who, in his view, were disrespectful to young people while remaining sheltered. He said he had lasting respect for him and rejected criticisms that the intervention was merely for communication or manipulation, stating that the mayor at least had shown up and taken a stand. #Politique #Engagement #Action (translated)
