Bally Bagayoko believed that the absence of calls for de-escalation could be perceived as encouragement for escalation. He denounced practices he deemed questionable, provocations, sometimes disproportionate reactions, and the use of tear gas at close range, believing that these methods fueled tensions without providing a political response. He addressed Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, President Emmanuel Macron, and Sébastien Lecornu, urging them not to stoke tensions or endanger high school students and police officers. He also emphasized that police officers were under fatigue and pressure, and that a retreat from dialogue could lead to violence, injuries, or fatalities. Bagayoko advocated for calm, proportionality, and dialogue, believing that the mobilization of youth should receive a political response rather than being reduced to a confrontation with law enforcement. He called for prioritizing the prevention of a tragedy and favoring de-escalation. #Désescalade #Dialogue #Violence (translated)
