• Our country was attacked by an Islamist terrorist
• The deployment of 7 thousand soldiers to provide security protection for the country
Macron putting fuel to the fire.
Shame.
When i see this i suddenly, though about "2015 Charlie Hebdo Attack" and what French officials said at that time.
French government
President François Hollande addressed media outlets at the scene of the shooting and called it "undoubtedly
a terrorist attack", adding that "several [other]
terrorist attacks were thwarted in recent weeks". He later described the shooting as a "
terrorist attack of the most extreme barbarity", called the slain journalists "heroes", and declared a
day of national mourning on 8 January.
At a rally in the
Place de la République in the wake of the shooting,
mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo said, "What we saw today was an attack on the
values of our republic; Paris is a peaceful place. These cartoonists, writers and artists used their pens with a lot of humour to address sometimes awkward subjects and as such performed an essential function." She proposed that
Charlie Hebdo "be adopted as a citizen of honour" by Paris.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that
his country was at war with terrorism, but not at war with Islam or Muslims. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said,
"The terrorists' religion is not Islam, which they are betraying. It's barbarity."

Now, we see how Macron acts today, and i swear i saw this before.
Polarizing your country, marginalizing a part of your country, really helps to consolidate your voter base. However in the long term it harms your country as it happens in Turkey. A populist leader sacrificing his countries interests for his political career, how familiar.
