BFM TV INFO. The Minister of Labor, on the front line on the pension reform, is the target of numerous criticisms and was even described as an “assassin” this week by an LFI deputy.
According to our information, the protection around Minister Olivier Dussopt has been reinforced and has gone from 1 to 3 security guards. Agents who are with him every day, also in his free time.
If the minister’s entourage explains that he is “armored” morally, the former socialist has however seemed very affected, and this on several occasions in his last days. In particular when he was called an “assassin” by the deputy LFI Aurélien Saintoul this Monday during the examination of the pension reform.
“Extreme Pressure”
Caroline Parmentier, deputy of the National Rally (RN), said for her part on LCP that she saw Olivier Dussopt “come out shocked” and “kick loudly in the door of the hemicycle” during the suspension of the session after the ‘incident.
A member of the majority confides to BFMTV about the state of mind of the Minister of Labour:
“You feel him more tense than he was before. But who wouldn’t be given the period and the extreme pressure he has on his shoulders? And the intimidation he receives, let’s not talk about it. ..”
Guillotine images and more direct threats
This enhanced protection of Olivier Dussopt comes as the minister also receives more and more homophobic messages on his social networks, according to our information.
But more generally, very many messages of intimidation and even death threats, again according to information from BFMTV. He notably received images of the guillotine, but also more direct threats.
