On LCI, David Lisnard spits his contempt in memory of the victims of the massacres of October 17, 1961

He wants to president of France. But when a student reminds him of a bloody page in his history, the veneer cracks. Monday October 19, on LCI, Lola-Fleur Whittaker asks David Lisnard a simple question: “Can you remind us what happened on October 17, 1961? » Response from the mayor of Cannes: “I don’t care (…) I don’t give a damn.”

He dreams of being at the Élysée, but a simple question is enough to make him undrinkable. On October 17, 1961, Algerians demonstrated in Paris against a discriminatory curfew. Under the authority of prefect Maurice Papon, the police repressed them bloodily. Men were beaten, killed, thrown into the Seine. Dead people who deserve, at the very least, that a presidential candidate does not brush away their memory with the rudeness of a man upset in his comfort. To justify himself, Lisnard explains that he was not born. The argument is appalling. Will you now have to present your birth certificate before becoming interested in a crime?

And it is this man who is presented to us as the new political phenomenon. Europe 1, in the Bolloré galaxy, highlights its “growing success”; elsewhere, his progress in the polls fuels comments on a possible breakthrough. The little music starts: something is going to happen. But between an increase in voting intentions and a presidential stature, there remains a gulf. The figures from the pollsters, transformed into advertising arguments, will not satisfy him. No more than the spotlights and flattering portraits.

He wants to rule everyone, but despises those whose history bothers him. Hungry for power, incapable of listening: we shudder at the idea of ​​seeing him at the Élysée. If he thus loses all restraint in front of a student who asks him a history question, how would he welcome, tomorrow, those who come to ask him to account?
