Sciences Po Paris, an “open-air ZAD”, in response to the RN
The spokesperson for the National Rally, Thomas Ménage, described Sciences Po as “an open-air ZAD plagued by Islamo-leftism in the heart of Paris. Faced with this observation, the management finds nothing better to do than to fall flat on its face in front of the far-left anti-Semites.”

By: “the management has the right to decide to evacuate” we should clearly imply: “the management is right to evacuate”.
