Did you listen to his radio Interview this morning?

Marie Lucie was not too about the part of the text where Heriveaux called the opposition "Ces Cafards" (These Cockroaches)

The text translates to this:

Easy,

The Police Chief: Godson Orelus has to find very strong chemical to spray these Cockroaches in the manifestation and make sure police spray all of them who participate in the manifestation and make sure these big Cockroaches destroy within one or two months forever.

More they come, more you spray them until we don't have anymore, until no more to steal people's container in (La douane), until no more in EDH etc.
