A “new fascist controversy”. Jean-Luc Mélenchon came to the defense of MP LFI Rachel Keke on Friday. This former maid, elected to the National Assembly since June 2022, still occupies her social housing in Chevilly-Larue (Val-de-Marne). A fact relayed by the far-right press since Thursday.

“New fascist controversy against Rachel Keke about her HLM housing. I want her to stay there. Even if his rent is adapted, ”reacted the founder of insubordinate France on his X account (formerly Twitter). “She is not elected for life. And it’s a good thing that the people’s chosen ones don’t give up the lives of their own,” he continued.

Questioned by BFMTV, the former maid admitted to being “still in [son] social housing”. “As soon as I was elected to the National Assembly, I went to see my social landlord to ask him if I could stay. My children go to school right next to my accommodation,” she said. Still according to the chain, Rachel Keke’s social landlord would have given her his agreement “on condition of paying an additional rent”.

“A black woman in the National Assembly is unbearable for them”

The rebellious elected official is not illegal. According to applicable regulations, when a person with social housing sees their income increase, they are forced to pay additional rent (also called solidarity rent supplement). ” I have nothing to hide. And I never wanted to rush to live elsewhere. I’ve lived here for seven years,” explained the woman who was spokesperson for the strike by housekeepers at the Ibis Batignolles hotel that began in 2019.

Rachel Keke still points, behind this beginning of controversy, the shadow of “the far right”, according to BFMTV. She cites as proof the fact that the site Facteur, sponsored by CNews presenter Christine Kelly, was the first to relay the information, before it was relayed in particular by ValeursActeurs. “A black woman in the National Assembly to defend people who are suffering, essential workers, that’s unbearable for them,” believes the rebellious elected official.
