8:53. Castaner and Vincent Crase. "I do not believe I have sinned out of arrogance. […] I am perhaps more troubled than you, I have an employee (Vincent Crase, Ed), that I did not hire but that I greet every day, imagine the personal violence that it is for me ! …. ", Says Christophe Castaner, Secretary of State and patron of the Republic in March.
8:52. When will Macron speak? "He wants a global vision because he does not want to comment on facts, he wants a global reorganization (services of the Elysee, Ed), and he will speak" when it will be done, says Christophe Castaner.
8:48. On the bus What about Benalla's role in the bus of the Blues? "I heard he was taking care of the luggage," Christophe Castaner says without a laugh,
8h47. What was Benalla doing? "I believe", "I think I understand" … Christophe Castaner has trouble answering this question: what was the role of Alexander Benalla in the president's office, before and after his demotion. "In the Pantheon, he was managing the protocol for VIPs". And during the Macron couple's private visit to Giverny? "There is logistics too," says Castaner without blushing. "Safety is the responsibility of the GSPR and only of the GSPR."
8:45. He said so. "As far as I'm concerned, as early as Thursday noon, I said that this behavior was unacceptable," says Christophe Castaner.
8:41. And his habilitation H? "He came a dozen times" to the Assembly, relativizes Castaner, questioned about the intriguing badge of Alexandre Benalla, giving him access to the hemicycle, as a handful of political associates of the Elysee. And to add: "I never saw it."
8h39. Elements of language. Like Benjamin Griveaux (read below at 7:50), Christophe Castaner says that "the security (of the Elysee) is completely independent and placed under a military and police authority."
8h38. A police mission? "I do not believe that no particular mission was entrusted to this gentleman to reorganize the security of the president," says Christophe Castaner.
8h35. According to Castaner . For the delegate general of the Republic in Marche, the Benalla affair is the "behavior of a totally outrageous man". "There are a number of procedures going on, and it's a great thing. […] The whole truth must be done. "
8:34. Castaner speaks. No, the case does not last for five days, "as soon as the facts, including the question of video, a dismissal procedure was launched" against Alexandre Benalla, says Christophe Castaner on RMC and BFMTV.
8:25. The questions of Marine Le Pen. " The President of the Republic drives an open door, he says it is unacceptable yes thank you. He says there will be no impunity (but) he says that after the opening of an investigation, so there will be no impunity. The question is, has there been impunity before, "annoys the President of the National Assembly (ex-FN) in Europe 1
8h22. The crux of the problem "The highest figure in the state, who does not trust the police and police who ensure his safety, had entrusted a 26-year-old boy with the task of reorganizing his security," says, stunned, Luc Carvounas, Socialist deputy from Val-de-Marne. And to ask, as one more piece to this ugly puzzle, if Benalla "was empowered secret-defense? "
7:57. Can Collomb jump? "We are not here. We let those who want to make a political inquiry to their politicaillerie ", tears the spokesman of the government Benjamin Griveaux on RTL.
7h55. What about sanctions? "There was no absence of sanction, there was punishment according to the information that his superior had at that time."
7:54. "There was no concealment", ton Benjamin Griveaux. "A state affair is when there is opacity" while "three investigations launched in four days, and the commission of inquiry is held in record time."
7:53 . Members will appreciate. "The real state scandal has been going on for several days in the National Assembly. All the work is blocked ", criticizes Benjamin Griveaux, still on RTL. "They do not want constitutional reform, they want to protect their place, their mandate," he said, reproaching a "political instrumentalization" of the case.
7h50 bis. Why this omnipresence Benalla with the Macron? "He was present as his role as deputy chief of the cabinet," tries Benjamin Griveaux, without convincing.
7h50. Every word counts. "The President of the Republic explained yesterday that since taking office, only the police and the gendarmes had authority to take care of his security," says Griveaux. Manner of saying that, no, Alexander Benalla gave no order to the hand-picked security officers who ensure the protection of the Head of State.
7:49. "All this is not serious." This is a common expression in the mouth of Benjamin Griveaux, whatever the subject. But that could turn against him. Social networks are already reacting.
7:48. Griveaux attacks strongly. " What leaves me speechless is the behavior of oppositions to want to investigate a case on television and social networks," accuses the government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux on RTL. Near the head of state, he lists "the three investigations, that of justice, that of the general inspectorate of the national police, and one to the National Assembly. So there is a good functioning of our institutions. […] We do not make small political communication on the backs of our institutions. "
7:45. LFI wants to summon Macron. On Twitter, MPs Ugo Bernacilis and Eric Coquerel want the President of the Republic come to explain to the parliamentary commission of inquiry. Which, institutionally, seems impossible
7h42. Benalla's skills. "The police do a serious job. This is not a hobby of holidays! Exclaims MP Boris Vallaud, spokesman for the PS
7:40. Silence = fantasy. "We can not allow the unanswered questions to accumulate, which turn into a deafening silence and maintain suspicion", criticizes, on RMC, the spokesman of the Socialist Party Boris Vallaud.
7:22. Big reminder. If you have not read the newspaper since Wednesday, or consulted an information site, here's what catch up and understand: violence from May 1 to the latest revelations, back on the case Benalla.
7h20 . Reminder. You have not read the weekend newspaper? On Sunday, Alexandre Benalla and four policemen were indicted. Three of these, members of the direction of public order and traffic (DOPC) of the Paris police headquarters, are targeted for having transmitted Wednesday evening, in a bar of the eighth arrondissement, images of CCTV to Alexander Benalla.
