Macron says gasoline attack on elected official and school staff is unacceptable

Briefing by News4U · First published

Today French President Emmanuel Macron said on X that he offered his full support to Angela Avond, who was sprayed with gasoline in front of a high school in Chelles, as well as to all National Education staff, especially school heads, who have been the target of violence. The French president said attacking an elected official of the Republic or those who serve it in this way is unacceptable. He said violence has no place in a democracy, and that these acts have nothing to do with the expression of demands: they constitute brutality and intimidation and must be punished with the greatest firmness.
