Alexandre Benalla, the former head of security for the president Emmanuel Macron, return to make the walls of the Elysée tremble. This time it is the Senate that is hitting the French presidency hard. The commission of inquiry investigating theaffair Benalla indeed delivered a twenty-page report in which he speaks openly of "major dysfunctions" in the Elysée security system.
According to the French press, Macron's former bodyguard and security officer was actually "the weak link of the security of the head of state". But not only that, the Senate commission pointed the finger directly at the Elysée, which in his opinion gave "excessive" importance to Benalla, while no one from the security organization was able to contain the man's actions. For the commission of inquiry, Benalla represented a real "source of fragility for the safety device". On the contrary, for the French senators the man exercised "an essential function in the organization and management of the security of the President of the Republic" with the "risk of disturbing the normal functioning" of the security activities of the Elysée.

A real slap in the face to Macron from the French Senate. Because for the upper house of the French parliament there is a system created by the negligence of Macron and his entourage, false testimonies of Benalla, but above all unclear operations of other fundamental members of the circuit advisors to the president. And this is why the head of the Elysée has long launched a very harsh campaign against anyone who tries to filter indiscretions or news on this affair. There's something rotten about it Paris: and now the Senate has also noticed it.
The senators have exposed this system. And now they are asking the justice system to proceed. The report states that Benalla "gave false answers on several points", and on even important issues such as "the reasons for his application for a weapons license to the prefecture, the return of the diplomatic passports given to him and participation in a protection contract concluded between the Mars company and representatives of a Russian entrepreneur”. Moves that endangered the security of the head of state and "in a historical period in which the terrorist risk is particularly high".
Thus illustrious names from the French presidency are also starting to appear. Names that make one believe that the affair could now spread like wildfire across the entire Elysée. The senators called in case Patrick Strzoda, chief of staff to the president, Alexis Kohler, secretary general of the Elysée and former cabinet director of Pierre Moscovici, when he was Minister of Economy. In the end, is also mentioned Lionel Lavergne, head of the Security Group of the Presidency of the Republic. All accused by the commission of false testimony.

What emerges from this relationship is therefore a system of negligence and connivance that shows a worrying picture. At the Elysée, those responsible for security were all above the law and even acted to endanger the president's own safety. And with the political protection of the head of state. A set of accusations that are now worrying (and a lot) the presidency and the government.
The government spokesperson Benjamin Griveaux said yesterday that the Presidency of the Republic will respond very quickly to the report of the Senate commission of inquiry which "involves many controversy“. “The Elysée will bring effective answers to numerous counter-truths present in the report. I find it curious that the chambers decide on the organization of the executive power" added the spokesperson in a piqued tone. But in the meantime the French magistrates have started the fifth investigation against Benalla. In addition to false testimonies, now one has also been added missing safe and some deleted sms which have aroused many suspicions in the corridors of the Parisian judiciary.

The oppositions, Now, they are tired. The report of the Senate committee (which certainly cannot be said to be led by the opposition) for many it is the straw that broke the camel's back. The head of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Melenchon he wrote a very clear tweet in which he defines the Republic in March, the “banana republic”. Gilles Platret, spokesman for the Républicains asks: “Who will still dare to claim that theaffair Benalla is not an affair of state?”.
