A new form of “at the same time” so loved for Emmanuel Macron. This Thursday, April 24, the President of the Republic was asked about the hypothetical withdrawal of the Legion of Honor granted to his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy.
By explaining that they do not want to doubt a judicial decision, Emmanuel Macron still opposed this withdrawal, a matter of “respect” for his predecessor.
A “exclusion (this) de facto planned by the code”, as explained by the great chancellor of the Legion of Honor, François Lecointre, on March 4, since the former president was definitely sentenced by the Court of Cassation in the framework of the listening adventure, last December.
“It deserves respect”
Is Emmanuel Macron favorable to this retirement? “There are judicial decisions and the President of the Republic that I should not comment on them, because I am the guarantor of an institution and a judicial authority that must be able to act in a quiet way,” President Emmanuel Macron explained for the first time to several journalists, from Madagascar.
However, the Head of State, in Hollow, has questioned this decision, recognizing that “he certainly exhausted the remedies in France” but appealed to the European authorities to question the conviction.
“I think that at the same time that President Sarkozy has current trials, where he has exhausted the remedies in France, which led to a conviction, but to an appeal to the European authorities, but given the fact that the sovereign people what is chosen, now there are just over ten years, I think it deserves respect,” said the head of state, adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding: adding:
