Two elected RN de Gironde, including MP Edwige Diaz, filed a complaint on Wednesday against the rapper Médine who had his audience tear to pieces a papier-mâché figurine decorated with their portraits on Saturday during a concert in Agen. According to the complaint filed for “provocation to hatred or violence”, excerpts from which AFP was able to read on Friday, the elected National Rally Edwige Diaz and Julie Rechagneux believe that the rapper “was guilty of a call lynching on (their) person”.
Saturday evening in Agen, the rapper had a piñata destroyed, this decorated object that children must bludgeon to recover candies and toys during birthday parties, a tradition imported from Mexico. Geoffroy Gary, the representative of the Reconquest! of Eric Zemmour in Lot-et-Garonne was also targeted. For Marine Le Pen, the “threats” of Medina are “an infamy”. “It is a real call to violence and hatred! Justice must now be seized as quickly as possible to have these ignominies condemned, ”tweeted the president of the RN group in the National Assembly.
Before his concert in Agen, the two elected RNs had refused to vote at the New-Aquitaine Regional Council for a grant of 65,000 euros granted to the ADEM association, manager of the Florida performance hall because of the artist’s visit. . In Albi (Tarn), a few days earlier, the rapper had already made a name for himself by throwing darts at portraits of elected officials Bernard Carayon (LR) and Frédéric Cabrolier (RN) who had opposed his coming.
The messages published by Médine led to “an outpouring of hatred”, “cyberbullying” with “hundreds of tweets” of “threats and insults which are clearly political discrimination, sexism and insult”, a assured Edwige Diaz. “He first threw us into the food of his 205,000 followers and then a second time to his audience,” she was indignant to AFP, citing a “real threat” to her safety. “A piñata, you have to hit it with a stick,” said the MP for Gironde, who regrets the lack of support from the political class and feminist associations. In response to an indignant tweet from Edwige Diaz, Médine quipped on Twitter by declaring “present all (his) apologies to the piñatas around the world, for having made them support this cosplay (disguise, editor’s note) of deputy RN”.
