Trappes attack: Aymeric Caron reacts to the list
“I am thinking primarily of the victims of the terrorist and racist attack in Trappes,” declared Aymeric Caron this Thursday, November 12 on RMC. The Paris deputy reacted to the discovery of his name on a list found at the home of Kévin T., indicted for the attack on Trappes and La Verrière.
If the MP considered this discovery “chilling”, he said he was not surprised, claiming to have received “ hundreds » of death threats in three years. He immediately mentioned Pengo Bossio Wangi, murdered during the attack, then the twelve-year-old girl who, in his words, “ was riddled with bullets just because she wore a headscarf “. After greeting the other injured, he said he was thinking of French men and women of Muslim faith as well as those whose skin color causes them to be perceived as immigrants and who live ” in the daily fear of being targeted “. It was through RMC that Aymeric Caron learned that his name appeared on this list, alongside those of Sandrine Rousseau, David Guiraud and Assa Traoré. The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office clarified that at this stage, no element of the investigation established the existence of a plan for violent action against these four people.
Already threatened with death for denouncing the genocide in Gaza, Aymeric Caron was combative in the face of the silence of the authorities. He thanked the RMC editorial staff for warning him and consulting him before publishing his name, while judging “ very disturbing » that the alert came from journalists. Referring to the climate of verbal and written violence in which he lives, the MP directly blamed the Minister of the Interior, whom he criticized for considering “that all of this is anecdotal”.
Aymeric Caron remains one of the rare political voices in France to consistently defend the ideals of equality, solidarity and humanism of the left. This commitment is found in his defense of Palestinian rights as well as in his fight for an anti-capitalist ecology, breaking with the productivist system.
