I hate when politicians take stage, simply because I do not like politics show.
Jean-Michel Javaux, the charismatic co-president of Ecolo, just posted a video simulating a kidnapping. He does know, on Facebook and Twitter: A teaser for the benefit of a rock band friend, a wink, to take the tenth degree, no doubt. The problem the fact is that, as shown by misadventure Hortefeux, only counts the first degree.
Any removal is traumatic for the victim, his relatives, witnesses. I read this was the story of Clara Rojas, former inmate of the FARC. This weekend, De Morgen recounted sequestration by Taliban by Stephen Farrell, a journalist from NYT. Similar situations, less spectacular, less dramatic, occur every day and cause the same type of suffering.
Simulate "to laugh", hostage taking, gives an impression of lightness, lack of empathy. And from a policy, it's embarrassing.
Some may laugh at everything (Jannin, Kroll, ...) it is accepted because they represent only themselves. Then, casually, they respect the limits they set themselves.
Jean-Michel Javaux represents its voters his commune, more broadly, with colleagues chairmen of other political parties, the French electorate as a whole. What views and positions are decided is not a problem. By cons, his "doings" must be consensual, not offend any sensibility, precisely because it seeks to cover everyone.
Eric Fottorino, director of the World concluded his editorial this weekend in these terms: "Brice Hortefeux has forgotten that a minister must represent at each instant the values of the Republic. And measuring each word that may contain disrespect, violence and humiliation. " Relatively speaking, the board seems relevant here too.
can be in politics, with a certain detachment and a certain humor. See our first (now, not the last!). Not necessary to do so-and undesirable-indeed stepping on the policy stage show.
