This is the response of the shepherdess to the shepherd. Indirectly targeted by the virulent remarks of Emmanuel Macron, determined to “Piss off” the unvaccinated – a tactical maneuver aimed at reactivating the cleavage with the extremes and at devitalizing the candidacy of the Republicans (LR) -, Valérie Pécresse loudly replied, Thursday, January 6, on the subject of security. “We must bring out the Kärcher because it has been returned to the cellar by François Hollande and Emmanuel Macron for ten years”, she launched on the sidelines of a trip to Salon-de-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône), repeating what she had said the day before in an interview with Provence.

This is a facet to which the French are unaccustomed. However, when it receives a blow, it hits in turn. ”
