A drama that arouses very strong reactions on the benches of the right and the extreme right. A knife attack took place this Thursday morning near Lake Annecy. Six people were seriously injured, including four children, who are in an absolute emergency. A suspect was detained by the police, he is a Syrian refugee in regular situation.
“Our children are in danger of death and we are looking elsewhere. How long?” asked former presidential candidate Éric Zemmour on his Twitter account.

“The cowardice of our policies”
Among the first to draw among the figures of political life, the former editorialist evokes a “francocide”, a highly controversial notion.
The alleged attacker is a 32-year-old man of Syrian nationality, born in 1991 and identified as Abdalmasih H., according to a police source.
Having entered French territory legally, he applied for asylum last November, a police source said. He had since obtained refugee status in Sweden, we learned from the same source.
“The time of reckoning will come,” wrote Marion Maréchal, number two at Reconquest. Stanislas Rigault, one of Éric Zemmour’s closest friends, is in the same vein.
After the faithful, journalists, priests, teachers, now CHILDREN IN STROLLERS. (…) Every day we run the risk of being on the verge of death in this country due to the cowardice of our policies”, judges the head of the Reconquista youth.
“The price of unregulated and lawless immigration”
If Marine Le Pen has played the sobriety card, other lieutenants of the National Group have also raised their voices.
“Every day, the French pay the price for unregulated and lawless immigration. The safety of our fellow citizens must be an absolute priority,” writes Laurent Jacobelli.
“Another monstrosity that underlines the obvious danger that immigration represents for the French. Awake!”, advances the parliamentarian RN Alexandra Masson.
Same story for Bruno Retailleau, the head of the LR senators who denounced “another appalling tragedy, and about the children!”
“How much more time are we going to waste talking instead of taking the necessary measures to protect the French?” asked this former close friend of François Fillon.
“Let’s have a decent reaction”
Centrist senator Loïc Hervé spoke out against these comments on BFMTV. “If some could avoid making tweets and allusions without having confirmed information, it would be decent compared to what is happening in Annecy,” chided the elected representative of Haute-Savoie.
“Let’s avoid instrumentalizing this news and generalizing,” said Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist Party at the LCP microphone.
Last October, the extreme right organized several demonstrations after Lola’s murder, attacking the identity of the alleged perpetrator. Charged and referred, the 24-year-old suspect was subject to the obligation to leave the territory In 30 days. Of Algerian nationality, the young woman arrived in France in 2016 legally. She had obtained a student residence permit, which she has already expired.
