In a context of extreme police violence, of political corruption and of the vulnerability of freedom of press, it was unbearable not to react to my country's political climate from abroad.
Mediapart, the French independent newspaper which gathered all the abuse done during the Yellow Vests protests, revealed all of Benalla’s crimes and incriminated the Presidency itself, was threatened to suffer from a raid inside its headquarters on February 4th 2019.
By illegally orchestrating this raid inside Mediapart’s headquarters, the executive power was trying to get to its sources and therefore abused the constitution itself. France has previously been condemned by the European courts of human rights for directly threatening the confidentiality of journalists’ sources, which as a result directly challenged freedom of press and therefore the democracy itself.
