In an interview with a local newspaper, Dauphine Libere, on Tuesday, President Macron described the incident as an individual act and said it was carried out by a violent person.

‘Violence Cannot Be Allowed In A Democracy’

Speaking in the National Assembly, French Prime Minister Jean Castex condemned the incident and said that today French democracy has been targeted.

“In a democracy, debates, arguments and differences of opinion and opinions are expressed in a legal way, but violence, verbal or physical attacks cannot be allowed in any case,” he said.

Opposition leader Marine Le Pen said in a tweet that she condemned the physical attack against the country’s president.

She added, “he is the president: we can fight him politically, but we cannot allow the slightest violence towards him.”
