Police patrols have been set up around the home of LFI deputy for Val-de-Marne Louis Boyard due to the “various threats received” recently by the elected official, according to several sources familiar with the matter that Le Parisien is able to confirm.
This surveillance is part of the “particular context of the pension reform” and a request from the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin for “more comprehensive enhanced protection for elected officials”, according to a source familiar with the matter. No contact has been made with the elected representative of Val-de-Marne, specifies a police source.
In the midst of stormy discussions in the National Assembly on the government’s controversial pension reform project, the former student unionist had published Thursday on his Twitter account the list of deputies who had voted against a socialist bill aimed at offering meals one euro to all students.
“Remember their names”
This initiative, accompanied by the mention “retain their names”, had aroused strong criticism in the majority. This denounces the provocative behavior of the party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Another LFI deputy, Thomas Portes, was temporarily excluded from the Assembly this Friday for a tweet in which he posed, wearing his tricolor scarf, with his foot resting on a ball bearing the image of the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt. .
In November, Louis Boyard had been the target of insults launched live by Cyril Hanouna during the program “Touche pas à mon Poste”. The C8 channel was sentenced on Thursday to a record fine of 3.5 million euros from Arcom, the media regulator.
