The controversial Didier Lallement also revisited his questionable management of the Yellow Vest crisis and denounced the “bitterness and acrimony” of the demonstrators. He praised “the courage of the police officers” who “almost opened fire”.
Forty-three cases of eye injuries were recorded in 2018 and 2019 in France during the Yellow Vest protests, compared to only two reported in 2016 and one in 2017. The figures from this study, conducted in French hospitals, was published in the scientific journal The Lancet.
The former police prefect in the French capital, whose management of policing was highly contested during the Yellow Vest crisis, looked back on his experience without remorse. Now Secretary General of the Sea, Didier Lallement defended his doctrine that led to dozens of injuries in the ranks of demonstrators.
“There were no deaths in Paris during the crisis. We came close to opening fire but, thanks to the courage of the police officers, this did not happen. The day we have to open fire, we will enter another dimension. That may happen one day,” the sixty-year-old said in a long interview with L’Opinion.
The senior civil servant had been appointed by Emmanuel Macron in December 2018, after Act 3 of the Yellow Vests which had led to a huge protest on the Champs-Élysées and under the Arc de Triomphe. His mandate then was clear: Direct contact with the demonstrators to discourage them even if it meant violent confrontation.
“Your hands must not tremble,” Christophe Castaner, then Minister of the Interior, told him. And Didier Lallement never wavered, quite unconcerned that such actions were provoking protesters.
Setting a trap for protesters
The scene, in November 2019 Place d’Italie, where he crossed paths with a woman wearing a yellow vest, was symptomatic of this posture. He would later concede “a clumsiness”. In fact, in reality he had set a deliberate deadly trap for the protesters.
This is in any case what two figures of the movement, Priscillia Ludosky and Faouzi Lellouche, believe. They filed a complaint against the senior official in particular for “endangering others” and “infringement of personal freedom by a person in public authority”.
All afternoon, several hundred demonstrators were crowded into the square while violent clashes took place between black blocs and police officers in the same place. Although the prefecture indicated that exit lanes had been opened for the demonstrators, many testimonies affirmed the opposite.
“The setting up of this trap, which is totally contrary to the freedom of movement […], encouraged the rise in tension between the people gathered and the police, creating confusion among the demonstrators and leading to crowd movements and panic”, the complainants said.
“There is a necessary debate to be had on the methods used by Didier Lallement to maintain order,” insisted Guillaume Martine, the lawyer of the two Yellow Vests. “A demonstration is banned but no order is issued to do so officially, demonstrators are banned from demonstrating but are prevented from leaving,” he added.
At the beginning of September, a judge opened an investigation into this episode. Another judicial enquiry also targeted him for “arbitrary detention”.
“The Yellow Vest movement is an illustration of the absence of political outlets for social struggles […]. Its participants, who moreover systematically eliminated their leaders, were left with their bitterness and acrimony,” the former Parisian police boss said. Lallement forgot to add that the leaders of the movement were either injured or smeared by the media.
Repeating Macron’s talking points
Finally, Didier Lallement spoke about the government’s future bill on immigration. “Some of the foreigners in the big cities commit the bulk of the acts of delinquency”, he told BFMTV.
“The reality is that, to avoid becoming a delinquent after arriving in France in chaotic situations, you have to be a saint. People arrive on the territory, are not deported for various reasons and are not allowed to work,” the former police prefect explained.
Before adding: “What choice do they have? To work illegally? To subsist on other illegal resources? Man is neither naturally good nor naturally evil. We are creating the conditions for a reality.”
At the General Secretariat for the Sea, Didier Lallement now has “a mission of control, evaluation and forecasting” in terms of maritime policy.

Europe
NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems.

Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
