May 1: After his eviction from the demonstration, Jérôme Guedj denounces “the brainless morons” and “those who arm them”

Socialist MP Jérôme Guedj, who was attacked on Thursday along with his group during the May Day demonstration in Paris, denounced on BFMTV the "brainless morons" who attacked him and "those who arm them with their words and their silence."

A group of Socialist elected officials, including Jérôme Guedj, was attacked by black blocs on Thursday on the sidelines of the May Day demonstration. Law enforcement intervened and removed the MP. Socialist activists were injured.

Jérôme Guedj, who decided not to file a complaint, castigated "some who prefer to divide, abuse, brutalize, stigmatize, and sometimes essentialize." "I obviously despise the violent, these brainless morons who come to attack, abuse, and, I say, those who - in a certain way - arm them with their words, their silence," he continued.

Asked by a columnist who he was targeting specifically, Jérôme Guedj clarified: "I didn't see any activists from La France Insoumise." "We have warnings, unfortunately, when it reeks of anti-Semitism, we feel it," he continued, visibly moved. "And it breaks my heart to tell you that people on the left today can trivialize it, be complacent, look the other way when we have this issue," he thundered.
