"Even I who am very active on social networks, I was not prepared for that, I did not imagine such a surge of insults possible. Four days after the arrival of Emmanuel Macron in his commune, the various right mayor of Saint-Gervais (Haute-Savoie) Jean-Marc Peillex received around 800 messages of insults and death threats. Whoever seeks a fourth consecutive mandate will also file a complaint against X after all these messages, which he considers made through 45 false profiles.

- Jean-Marc PEILLEX (@PEILLEX) February 16, 2020"The problem is to face people who do not exist physically," he confides to 20 Minutes . All these accounts are decoys and have disappeared. A real tentacle unfolds and this hatred is only dispersed by an extreme minority, a real organization of destabilizers. I know that it will be very difficult to identify those responsible, but I cannot imagine choosing resignation in the face of these insults. "
"When we see these writings, we can fear acts"
On the sidelines of Emmanuel Macron's visit Thursday, where it was notably a question of pollution in the valley of Arve and "the protection of Mont-Blanc", three insulting tags (including one "Shit asshole") have also had to be removed in Saint-Gervais and in the neighboring town of Passy.

- Jean-Marc PEILLEX (@PEILLEX) February 14, 2020"I am not easily reachable, insists Jean-Marc Peillex, who in no way regrets having hosted the President of the Republic. Even if I have a shell, when we see these writings, we can fear acts. We are so in a society where the news no longer moves people. But all these threats do not call into question my commitment as an elected official. "
