Three men were detained on Saturday and will be tried on Monday after the attack on LREM deputy Romain Grau last Saturday in Perpignan, by people demonstrating against the health pass, we learned from the prosecution.

Two of them had been taken into custody on Thursday, before the arrest of a third person on Friday.

The three men are prosecuted for violence without temporary incapacity for work (ITT) on a person responsible for a public service mission on the sidelines of a demonstration, threat to an elected official and contempt.

Deputy Romain Grau, elected in 2017, announced on Sunday that he had filed a complaint after "this intolerable violence".

The day before, while he was working on his duty with Guillem Gervilla, a parliamentary adviser to Eric Dupond-Moretti, "a horde of people" walked towards them, tapping on the windows overlooking the street.

The two men then went out to try to calm them down, but they were "violently" attacked, according to Romain Grau, reporting "fairly heavy insults" and a "punch on the chin".

“One of my neighbors intervened and got slapped,” explained the deputy.

Already targeted in 2019

On a video posted on Twitter by Guillem Gervilla, we see a man screaming “to death” and another shouting “ho!

Did you vote it the pass?

".

Another video circulating on social networks shows dozens of people, some wearing yellow vests, repeating "collaborators" in the direction of the two men.

According to the deputy LREM, the demonstrators were around 250.

In July 2019, Romain Grau's office in Perpignan had already been targeted by "yellow vests" who broke windows and tried to set fire to the premises where the deputy was.
