“You have an Arab face, you have nothing to do in this country to collect all the waste in the world, you take the bread of the French. Get out fast!” It was for these terms that the deputy of Horizons de Val d’Oise Naïma Mouthou was a victim of racist insults through A letter received on Monday, April 14 at the National Assembly.
“It’s violent, it’s racist, it’s a shame. I have a knot in my stomach and I have cold anger,” he says on social networks.
“And then a thought for my parents, for their worn sacrifices and their hands, their dignity, their silence,” he wrote, sharing a photo of the mail received. Racist insults were written on a page of an article in Paris-Match dedicated to the deputy.
Mathilde Panot brings his “unwavering support”
“I am French and I am of Moroccan origin. I will never apologize for being what I am or defend what I only believe,” continues the chosen Ile -de -France who said he was complaining.
Many elected officials have brought their solidarity to the deputy, even if their political position is not the same. The deputy La France, Insumise Clémence, cared for his “support” for Naïma Mouthou. The president of the LFI group in the National Assembly spoke of an “infectious” situation. “Faced with racism, unwavering support naïma mouthou,” he writes in X.
Other elected officials of his camp also reacted. For example, former Health Minister Agnès Firmin Bodo described his anger as “legitimate.” “Beyond words, we must find the root of this racism, anti -Semitism, discrimination that pushes our country,” he continued.
Naïma Moutchou is not the first deputy to be a victim of insults by mail. The president of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet filed a complaint last September after receiving anti-Semitic messages.
The number of verbal and physical violence against elected officials increased by 32% in 2022 compared to 2021, according to the Interior Ministry.
