Matthieu Valet

Matthieu Valet mentioned a refusal to comply in Charenton-le-Pont (94). He described the individuals involved as particularly dangerous and claimed that one of them had deliberately backed into a moving police car to escape the officers, risking running them over. He criticized left-wing individuals who often called for filming police interventions for not commenting on this incident, while he believed they regularly criticized the police. #Police #Violence #CharentonLePont (translated)

Matthieu Valet criticized on BFM TV an exchange with student Younès Dufresne, whom he presented as far-left. He wrote that the journalist had to remind the student several times to behave and reproached him for not referring to the people who had vandalized the university in Nantes as thugs and transformed it into a ZAD. Valet also claimed that stones had been gathered high near the windows to be thrown at the police, and he questioned the three-day delay before the university president requested the evacuation of the premises. He recalled that in 2022, she had written to students urging them to block Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. He concluded by stating that the perpetrators of the damage were vandalizing the places, that the police were being attacked, and that taxpayers were bearing the cost, adding that the French could no longer tolerate it. #France #Justice #Société (translated)

Matthieu Valet reported having debated on BFM TV with Elsa Marcel from Révolution permanente, a group he described as dangerous for the Republic. He said that his side would seek to dissolve the group and criticized it for presenting Hamas's actions as resistance, supporting individuals convicted for the assault of a police officer and the arson of a police car, and not condemning violence against law enforcement. Valet also accused the group of implicating police officers in violence against high school students. He claimed to have reframed Elsa Marcel despite her interruptions and believed that her anger showed she struggled with contradiction. He concluded that he would not let anything pass regarding hatred and violence towards police officers. #République #Dissolution #ExtrêmeGauche (translated)

Matthew Valet opposed the withdrawal of stun grenades, believing that the incident in Lens, where a young man lost a hand, did not justify disarming the police. He added that a police officer or gendarme could not be held responsible if someone picked up a grenade at the moment of its explosion. Referring to the events of the previous day at the Place de la Bastille, he claimed that the absence of grenades and LBD (flash-ball launchers) in the face of individuals determined to attack the police risked causing a "bloodbath." He questioned whether this would lead to more confrontations at close quarters and injuries. Valet stated that he felt Emmanuel Macron preferred to see a police officer hospitalized rather than a rioter imprisoned. He argued that disarming police officers exposed them to injury and reminded that they were parents wearing a uniform. He also criticized the Magistrates' Union, accusing it of complacency towards the far left. According to him, excusing violence contributed to its rooting in France. #sécurité #violence #police (translated)

Matthieu Valet denounced the management of law enforcement during the violence at the Place de la Bastille in Paris. He claimed that the CRS 8 was protecting the Panthéon, where Emmanuel Macron was with the German federal president, while clashes were taking place at Bastille, and deemed this situation unacceptable. He also indicated that the police started their shift at 6 AM and that the administration only provided them with an applesauce and a piece of fruit to last through the day. According to him, they were asked to face stones and Molotov cocktails without being provided a proper meal. Valet challenged the statements that the events had gone well, apart from a few incidents at the end of the day. He asserted that a chimney had been thrown from a building onto police officers at Bastille and that a police station in Bordeaux had been set on fire while police officers were inside. He stated that violent individuals wanted to kill police officers and praised the work of police officers and gendarmes. #Bastille #Police #France (translated)

Matthieu Valet praised the commitment of the CRS 8 last Tuesday at Place de la Nation in Paris. He wrote that the police, alongside other CRS and intervention companies from the DOPC, had restored order under a rain of projectiles. According to him, the commander of the unit had received a nearly one-kilogram stone to the shin and had been treated on-site by a team from GAM, consisting of a doctor and a nurse. Valet indicated that several members of CRS 8 had been injured and sent them his support and wishes for recovery. He stated that the police had protected high school students from ultra-left militants who had come, in his view, to cause destruction. #Police #Soutien #Paris (translated)

Matthieu Valet stated that he had previously warned Louis Boyard on France Info TV against disturbing the streets. He then claimed that the deputy had gone that very morning to a blockage, where a police commissioner explained the functioning of the law to him. Valet added that the tricolor scarf did not confer all rights and estimated that Boyard should rather work at the National Assembly. He congratulated the commissioner for intervening. (translated)

Matthieu Valet asked why, in his opinion, the far left enjoyed such impunity, particularly during an illegal blockade. He claimed that the LFI deputy Antoine Léaument had attempted that very morning to obstruct a police maneuver on Boulevard Saint-Germain. Valet accused elected officials of trying to attract votes by hindering the forces of order, and argued that their mandate did not give them the power to give orders to or obstruct their actions. He added that the tricolor sash did not place them above the law. #Politique #Sécurité #France (translated)

Matthieu Valet indicated that he decided to refer the matter to the prosecutor of the Republic of Paris under Article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. He stated that a "street reporter" had deliberately tripped a police officer the day before, at the Place de la Nation in Paris. According to him, this act could constitute aggravated violence against a police officer, and filming did not justify an assault. He estimated that the video, cross-referenced with the footage from the police prefecture's surveillance cameras, should allow for the identification of the person involved. He added that he would not let violence against police officers and gendarmes go unpunished. #Justice #Sécurité #Violences (translated)

Matthieu Valet expressed his support for a national police motorcyclist who, according to him, had been the victim of a serious accident that morning near the Bellevue high school in Toulouse. He praised a specialty that he described as demanding and difficult to access, and expressed his gratitude towards the policeman and his colleagues, whom he said were mobilized in the face of blockades to protect the population. He wished them a speedy recovery. #PoliceNationale #Toulouse #Solidarité (translated)

Matthieu Valet stated that a police officer from the BAC in Metz had been falsely accused of sexual assault after a video was viewed more than 5 million times. According to him, the high school student and her mother had categorically denied these accusations during their hearing by the IGPN. Valet indicated that the director general of the National Police had decided to initiate defamation proceedings against those who implicated the police officer. He added that the officer was now threatened and requested that LFI deputies Antoine Leaument, Paul Vannier, and Sarah Legrain also be prosecuted for public defamation, accusing them of having accused him without knowing the case and of not having apologized after the denial. #Justice #DéfensePolice #FakeNews (translated)

Matthieu Valet indicated that he had agreed to debate with LFI deputy Louis Boyard on franceinfo TV. He accused the latter of poorly handling contradiction and believed that he struggled to respond to arguments and facts, multiplying diversions and seeking help from journalists. Valet also stated that he had reproached a public service journalist who had used the term "police violence." He criticized him for adopting, in his view, the vocabulary of the far left and anti-police activists, adding that a journalist paid with French taxpayers' money should not do so. He finally claimed to have laughed a lot at Boyard's performance. #Débat #Politique #France (translated)

Matthieu Valet stated that a police commander had been violently assaulted in Belfort by a group of criminals and had narrowly escaped death. He added that the public prosecutor's office had opened an investigation for attempted murder on the police officer. He criticized the account X "Alertes Infos" and lawyer Seydi Ba for implying that the police officer had intended to drown a young man, who himself was accused of violence against police officers and of attempting to set the forest on fire. Valet stated that the prosecutor had firmly denied this accusation and considered its dissemination to be irresponsible and endangering the police officers. He indicated that he had reminded these points during a debate on BFM TV. #Justice #Sécurité #Médias (translated)

Matthieu Valet expressed satisfaction with the arrest, which he characterized as caught in the act, of a man who allegedly fired a mortar at law enforcement. He noted that the man, who was wearing a hood and gloves, did not see an undercover police officer approaching from behind and attempted to flee unsuccessfully. #Justice #Sécurité #Policier (translated)

Matthieu Valet expressed his support for a police commander who, according to him, had escaped death during an attack carried out by individuals determined to kill him. He stated that the events took place around 9 a.m. near the Gustave-Courbet high school in Belfort. The police officer suffered from a head injury, but his health condition was reassuring, he added, calling his survival a miracle. Valet also wrote that a suspect had been arrested and that an investigation had been opened for attempted murder of the police officer. #Police #Soutien #Justice (translated)

Nearly 2,400 years ago, Plato already described this drift in The Republic: When fathers become accustomed to letting children do as they please, When sons no longer heed their words, When teachers tremble before their students and prefer to flatter them, When finally the young despise the laws because they no longer recognize any authority above them, Then this is, in all beauty and youth, the beginning of tyranny. According to Plato, The Republic, Book VIII. #Platon #LaRépublique #philosophie (translated)

Knocking a policewoman down with a sweep from behind, then hitting her on the ground in a pack: it makes me want to vomit 🤮! I hope that the perpetrators will be quickly apprehended, judged, and incarcerated. So, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a word for this woman hit on the ground? Moreover, a policewoman 🇫🇷. #Violence #Justice #Securité (translated)

It's shameful and unbearable! Who does this LFI deputy in Lille think he is? Aurélien Le Coq, your tricolor scarf is neither a totem of immunity nor a privilege! You are obstructing a police operation against thugs. Remember that you have no authority over these police officers, NONE AT ALL! Your mandate imposes a duty of exemplary conduct, not the right to obstruct law enforcement! #Politique #Sécurité #Autorité (translated)

Confronted with Jad Zahab, spokesperson for Gabriel Attal, on LCI, I didn't mince my words: "These serious accusations against Jordan Bardella are all benefits for you. Do you know why? While an extreme left media wants to tarnish the favorite personality of the French, we are not talking about the real issues! And it's not like all the indicators are in the red: they are in scarlet! The reality is that you propose nothing, like all our opponents, so you bring back the old charges of racism and anti-Semitism. The French are not fooled: you will not escape your record or the debate on the real issues!" #Politique #Débat #Actualité (translated)
