Another day of the campaign is this Friday. And how many more episodes? This between the two rounds of legislative elections expected in Val-de-Marne is marked by tensions which started in many areas in the department between the enemies or their groups. The sign of this second round is high risk. However, nothing compares to the attack on the group of Prisca Thevenot, the government spokesperson, in Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine).
This Thursday, the rag burned even in the 1st district. Sylvain Berrios (LR), the mayor of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, who came in second place, after the candidate Lyes Louffok (NFP-app LFI), announced that “a charge will be filed and all the measures taken that the Republican authority be respected in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, where these acts of disrespect took place.”
Photo of Hamas kidnapped hostage
Regarding “inappropriate actions”, he referred to the robbery the same morning by “a former opposition councilor, a close supporter of the LFI candidate”, of “a photograph of a child, the capture of Hamas for seven months”. “How can Lyes Louffok, who says that he is defending every child, accept such behavior? Are Jewish children, in your view, not entitled to be protected in the same way as others? »
Lyes Louffok, who discovered these actions “on social networks”, announced this Wednesday evening that this activist has been suspended from the campaign group and the local group of Scientists”. “I don’t accept such skills,” warned the candidate through LFI but who is not a member. While he insisted he “doesn’t know all the activists” in his campaign. There will be more than 800.
But above all the defenders of children’s rights, and known as such, reminders that “children deserve respect, posters are important to alert them to their fate” and have always spoken out “for the release of the hostages and for a ceasefire in Gaza.”
Lyes Louffok looked “fever” at his opponent
Regarding the “illegal assembly in the form of a roadblock”, which his deputy and civil opponent, Céline Vercelloni (Les Écologues) would have organized,” “it is not the type to do that”, he replied. Just take a picture and spread it on your networks. “
And Lyes Louffok saw in these “lies” a “febrileness” of his opponent. “Drink a good herbal tea and after a good night’s sleep, it will be better. » He wants to concentrate on his campaign, which closes this Friday evening with Jean-Luc Mélenchon in Champigny.
A little later this Thursday, in Bonneuil-sur-Marne, it is the group of the National Rally who Anne-Gaëlle Sabourin who is the subject of an event in front of the Eugénie-Cotton school. Mayor Denis Öztorun (PCF), who revealed the facts in a press release at the end of the day, refused to “let hatred pass” and called “for a pause and not to fall into the trap of provocation and hatred”.
According to the appointed official, the splicers would have “pretended and kissed the two mothers who responded”, “surprised” to see them “jostle children on the square”. They will then take down the RN poster. This would have followed threats from the right wing, including to civil servants. The activists are said to have indicated: “We will make it clear… in any case, it is over… it is the past FN”, before returning “hooded”. The mayor indicated that these mothers will file a lawsuit. An event discussed live this Wednesday evening on the France 2 set, by MP Clémence Guetté (LFI), re-elected in the 2nd district.
Asked at the beginning of the evening, Anne-Gaëlle Sabourin completely “disputes” this version of the facts, supported by a member of her group. The events are said to have been filmed by RN reporters, the video of which was requested by Le Parisien but not received.
According to the candidate, there is no “placing children”, or “threats”, or “hoods”. Anne-Gaëlle Sabourin admits that she has told people that “it is forbidden to remove posters from electoral commissions, it is worth a fine”. He also promised to file a lawsuit. “Everyone must respect the rules. All our panels are dirty. They cursed us and attacked one of our groups last week.”
The weather is not the best in the 8th district. The first round campaign has already experienced its share of incidents. This week, it looks like that’s still the case, according to an activist who has allegedly been harassed.
“Racism, sexism and homophobic insults”
And even in the regional district, the 6th, around Vincennes, the climate has reached “unacceptable heights”, according to candidate May Bouhada (Les Écologues). In an open letter addressed this Wednesday to both the Mayor of Saint-Mandé and his opponent, the outgoing deputy Guillaume Gouffier Valente (Renaissance), the deputy mayor of Fontenay-sous-Bois revealed that “the racism, sexism and homosexuality have become common ground towards the activists of the New Popular Front.” Julien Weil, the leader of the LR, did not want to “react and participate in this destructive campaign which is no one’s fool.” The violence did not come from us.”
May Bouhada also mentions “leaflets torn from hands”, “physical threats”, “damaged posters”… Many actions which are in your eyes from the opposing camp: “Fear of losing (…) he cannot authorize everything. »
But it seems that on the side of many presidents, too, we are subject to such actions. According to Guillaume Gouffier Valente, this climate has lasted “for many months” and the European campaign. He also responded on social networks. He “denounces all attacks against activists” and stands “by” all those who want to file an accusation. This is what he told his opponent, he told us.
The outgoing MP has seen his tenure tarnished on several occasions, again in recent days. Names of birds, damage to posters and others are increasing. “This Wednesday morning, all our mails were taken from Vincennes, while the previous evening we had put everything together,” he explained this Wednesday evening, following an operation. After the attack on Prisca Thevenot’s group , he wants to be “with” his activists.
