"I told myself that the campaign was quieter this year ... Apparently, it failed," she comments.
In 2019, a journalist from La Marseillaise filed a death threat complaint against the mayor of Allauch Roland Povinelli, in office since October 1975. The elected socialist would have declared: "I'm going to die you, me. Go ahead, write tomorrow in La Marseillaise , roughly, “Povinelli wants to kill me.” But since you must be a hell of a fag, it would surprise me if you had the balls… (…) You should find out if you want to live old!
