Just before, Prime Minister Jean Castex denounced on Twitter this time a "  revolting publication calling for an unambiguous condemnation  ", assuring the rebellious member "  of the support of the whole government  ".

As early as Friday, Danièle Obono had mentioned “  the extreme right, odious, stupid and cruel. In short, equal to itself  ”, supported by a Jean-Luc Mélenchon denouncing the“  nauseating harassment  ”of which Danièle Obono bears the brunt.
