Interview Jean Luc-Mélenchon: "Emmanuel Macron has an outdated vision of France"
France An ultra-rightist French youtuber is investigated for inciting the murder of Mélenchon voters in one of his videos
The leader of the French leftist party La Francia Inumisa (LFI) and presidential candidate,
Jean-Luc
Mélenchon
, received a good handful of flour from a man at the start of
a demonstration in Paris against the far right.
Mélenchon calmly responded to the press as he brushed the flour from his face: "There is a lot of tension. I don't know what was the reason for throwing it at me. It is really a threshold that has been crossed. It could have been worse ... It is made to intimidate (...) They don't scare me, "he added.
His statements last Sunday predicting "a serious incident or murder" in the last week of the presidential campaign
sparked outrage in the French political class.
Shortly after the incident, the alleged perpetrator presented himself to various journalists as a "sovereignist".
"I don't believe in the debate," he added.
When asked about the violence of his gesture, he made a gesture of surprise.
The LFI youth organization assured that the alleged aggressor was "a militant of the extreme right", after recognizing him in several old videos posted on YouTube.
A few days ago, the
Paris
Prosecutor's Office
opened
an investigation into the far-
right
youtuber
Papacito
for public incitement to the murder after the publication of a video in which he simulates the execution of an LFI voter.
He is accused of "public incitement not followed by the commission of attacks against the life or integrity of persons," according to the
Prosecutor's Office
.
The
Brigade for the Suppression of Crime against the Person (BRDP)
will carry out the investigation
