The wildest theories and rumors then flocked to X, some claiming that the breeder gave his RIB (Bank Identity Statement) to the minister and calling him & ;quot;traitor".

Jérôme Bayle made a point of speaking at the microphone of BFMTV , explaining that he does not ;acted, in reality, not his RIB: "I hope you don't find me stupid enough to believe that I am capable of giving my RIB in direct".

"I refused a position because of my silence"

On the piece of paper was actually written the number of a person who wrote to the breeder: "She is in a complicated situation, it was to see if the government could help him with his children", he explained.

The breeder then wished to respond to his detractors who accuse him of not continuing the protest after the measures announced by the Prime Minister this Friday, January 26: "Before attacking this movement, I refused a position against my silence", he declared on BFMTV. Jérôme Bayle did not, however, specify the nature of the position nor the identity of the person who made the offer to him.

The entourage of the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, reacted to this statement by affirming that they had "no idea&quot ; what the breeder is referring to, reports HuffPost.
