"Get out of the way if you don't want to burn like a merguez"… Covered with insults and threatened in an anonymous letter, the mayor of Givors, Mohamed Boudjellaba, lodged a complaint and received government support on Sunday.
"The war, you will have it", "we still know how to use a machine gun", "you know how it looks like a bomb in a house, it goes boom": the letter of which the elected official published extracts on Twitter is particularly hateful and violent towards him.

"In all, four pages of slander, racial hatred and threats", summarized Mohamed Boudjellaba who had won at the end of June, under the label DVG-EELV, the second round of the municipal election in this town of 20,000 inhabitants located between Lyon and Saint-Étienne.
"Four pages of unsigned loathing"
His communist rival, Christiane Charnay, condemned an “infamous” letter by supporting the city councilor, as did his competitor from the National Rally Antoine Mellies who deemed the letter “unacceptable”.
I have just learned of the existence of this letter containing death threats and hate speech against the mayor of #Givors.
It's just unacceptable! All light must be shed to find the author and bring him to justice ... https: //t.co/zfVj68bKAk
