During a visite by Manuel Valls to Mulhouse, a disgruntled Trade Unionist insulted the Police and Manuel Valls, the Prime Minister; he has been fined 250 Euros ! The exact words used are not known but, according to the jugement the offense was admitted !
Trade Unionists say he shouted "Valls on t'emmerde !" and also "CRS = SS" which is an old expression which dates back to the 1968 Strikes !
This will certainly provoke many comments and much mirth, in France and probably elsewhere also ! Are Politicians always so very sensitive ?
The first questions will be, "Who is protected" from insults in the political arena ? Only Valls and the President ? And, what about the principle of the "Liberty of Expression ?"
ls it permissible and generally acceptable for Manuel Valls, as he has already done in the past, to describe Marine Le Pen and FN party supporters as "Fascists" ? If so , Why ?
Valls wants more respect, but this story is bound to boomerang and provoke more ridicule and contempt !
