Police find Mein Kampf copy at home of suspect who filmed Macron being slapped
|
| But he also has Communist things, suggesting he is more confused than properly ideological — whether royalist, neo-Nazi, OR Communist. |
[IsraelTimes] Medieval-era cry of assailant as he struck French president points to potential interest in tiny royalist fringe movement along with extreme-right figures.
Police on Wednesday found a copy of Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like...
’s manifesto "Mein Kampf," along with weapons and paraphernalia associated with holy warrior groups at the home of the suspect who filmed French President Emmanuel Macron getting slapped across the face during a trip to southeast La Belle France a day earlier.
Continued from Page 3
The 28-year-old suspect, identified only as Arthur C, also possessed old books on the art of war, two flags, one symbolizing Communists and another of the Russian revolution,
...so he might as easily be counted a Communist of some sort as a neo-Nazi... the prosecutor’s office said. He is to be summoned to court next year for illegal possession of arms.
Arthur C. was quickly arrested after the incident along with the primary assailant Damien Tarel, also 28. Neither had police records, the local prosecutor said.
Bubbling beneath La Belle France’s political landscape is an assortment of ultra-right groups, a subculture that shot to the nation’s attention, given the centuries-old royalist cry blurted out by Tarel as he struck Macron.
Tarel told Sherlocks he struck out without thinking, the prosecutor’s office said. He is to appear in court Thursday on a charge of violence against a person invested with public authority.
While Tarel’s motives remained unclear, it was his Medieval-era cry "Montjoie! Saint Denis!" as he slapped Macron’s cheek, that pointed to the aggressor’s potential interest in the tiny royalist fringe movement. Social media posts showed he followed royalist TV channels and a smattering of extreme-right figures.
In 2018, the royalist call-to-arms dating to Medieval times was cried out by someone who threw a cream pie at the far-left politician, Eric Coquerel. The extreme-right pro-monarchist group Action Francaise took responsibility. Action Francaise did not claim a role in Tuesday’s slapping incident, but hours later tweeted, "Vive la tarte a Tain," a play on words combining the slang for "slap" (tarte), the French apple desert, tarte tatin, and Tain-l’Hermitage, where the incident occurred.
Tarel told Sherlocks he was close to the Yellow Vest movement for social and economic justice, but also held right- or ultra-right political convictions without being a member of a party or group, according to a statement by the prosecutor’s office.
"Testimony of witnesses and (Tarel’s) companion do not add clarity to what motivated" the suspect to slap Macron, the prosecutor’s office said.
Ultra-rightist groups are considered increasingly dangerous despite their small following and are on the radar of authorities. Numerous arrests have been made and several groups banned. Challenges to the French identity are often at the center of their ideologies.
During Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting, Macron stressed the incident a day earlier was "an isolated act by a violent mostly peaceful individual" that wouldn’t stop his direct contact with the population.
"No violence can be considered banal in the country," government front man Gabriel Attal said.
The town of Tain-l’Hermitage, where the assault occurred, was the president’s most recent stop on a tour designed to "feel the pulse of the country" that’s been laid low by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
and trying to get back on its feet.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen was among political chiefs to quickly condemn the assault. Le Pen, a candidate in 2022 presidential elections, has spent years working to rid her National Rally party of holy warrior elements who gravitated around her father’s National Front party, which she renamed.
Obscure to most of La Belle France, ultra-right movements are a priority on the radar of Sherlocks.
A probe into an alleged plot uncovered in 2018 against Macron by a mini-group whose members were scattered around La Belle France is still in progress. The group, known as Les Barjols, was ordered disbanded.
Mediapart, an online investigative outlet, reported last month that Sherlocks are on alert for the eventual return of ultra-right terrorists. It cited a confidential report from the prosecutor’s office detailing the professionalism and ability to obtain weapons by some groups. It said 17 deaths can be attributed to the ultra-right between 2016-2019, and quoted Sherlocks as counting about 1,000 snuffies and 2,000 followers of the ultra-right.
In March, La Belle France banned Generation Identity, citing its ideology "inciting hate, violence or discrimination of individuals ... based on origins, race or religion." The organization was known for spectacular actions to get out its anti-migrant message in what it claimed was a mission to preserve French and European civilization.
Tarel’s social media profile showed an interest in medieval combat and martial arts, confirmed by a friend in an interview on BFMTV. The friend, identified only as Loic, said he was "stunned" by the slap. In October 2018, Tarel put out a call on a social media platform for funds for an association of Medieval martial arts in the town where he and Arthur C. were born and live, Saint-Vallier, with a population of under 4,000.
Four hours before Tuesday’s assault, a TV news show, Le Quotidien, broadcast a brief clip of Tarel, Arthur C. and another man waiting to see Macron. Neither Tarel nor Arthur C. spoke, but the third person said: "There are things that should be said, but unfortunately cannot be said."
Among the issues, he said, was "the decline of La Belle France."
