Insulted while she was riding a two-wheeler, the mayor of Périgueux announced her intention to file a complaint against a motorist.
“I have never been insulted with such violence in a public space. I have already received a few anonymous letters that were threatening but now it’s over, it’s unacceptable. » Two hours after being insulted as a “dirty p’” while she was cycling in the Vésone district, Delphine Labail informed the press of her intention to file a complaint the same afternoon, this Tuesday 24 June, against a driver who, like her, experienced the inconveniences of the new phase of work on rue Émile Lafon.
The mayor of Périgueux, stunned, did not have time to explain to the latter, who left without asking for his rest. “It’s okay to be angry at political decisions, but I don’t have to be insulted. “It remains to be seen whether the man had clearly recognized the councilor, “even if he had not identified me, I do not have to be insulted in the public space,” insists Delphine Labail, who is counting on the video surveillance cameras so that his interlocutor, or his license plate, allows the police to summon him. As the law was tightened on March 23, he could be liable to one year’s imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros for insulting a person holding public authority or a fine of 7,500 euros. and a community service sentence depending on the term that could be used.
