“It’s you break, you receive”: the RN denounces a “legitimation of violence” after the announcement of the deployment of 3,000 replacements in high schools

Marine Le Pen's spokesperson, Laurent Jacobelli, estimated on Friday that the government's announcement of the deployment of 3,000 replacement teachers in high schools amounted to a "legitimation of violence", observed on the sidelines of high school demonstrations for three weeks.

“It’s you break, you receive,” the far-right leader was indignant on Cnews-Europe1. “Does that mean that when we burn cars, when we attack police officers, we get something? (...) It is the legitimization of violence,” he declared.

The Minister of Education Édouard Geffray announced Thursday evening the deployment “in the coming hours and days” of 3,000 replacement teachers who “currently are not in front of the students”.

“Thanks to software that I requested a year ago, we were able, at the start of this year - this is the first time we have deployed it - to identify establishments which are in situations which I would describe as very problematic. There are 114 high schools which I would say are red, and 400 which are orange,” he explained to the TF1 newspaper.

On LCI, RN deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy accused the government of having “lied” by asserting that there was no problem with replacing teachers before urgently deploying these 3,000 replacements.

“If you say at the start of the school year that there is no problem with the presence of teachers and that a month later (...), you find 3,000 teachers to put in front of the students, it is indeed that there was a lie,” declared this person close to Marine Le Pen on LCI. “So the (high school) movement should never have existed,” he sighed.
