Under police protection
These threats appeared following a video published online by RN deputy Frédéric-Pierre Vos, in which the latter complained “of not having been invited to the vows ceremony” of Renaud Bourgeois, according to his lawyer.
Renaud Bourgeois filed a complaint on January 13 and was placed under police protection, said his lawyer, deploring that Frédéric-Pierre Vos “in no way dissociated himself from these threats”, which “is not likely to put an end to to the cyberharassment of which my client and his family are victims.
“Make pschitt”
An investigation is underway to “identify individuals who posted comments falling under criminal law,” declared the Compiègne public prosecutor’s office. In his video of January 12, Vos criticizes Bourgeois for having invited to his wishes all the personalities of the department and the canton, except him. “This way of doing things is a real affront to the 60% of voters who voted for me” in the second round of the legislative elections, he is indignant.
Asked, Frédéric-Pierre Vos, himself a lawyer, said on Monday that he was convinced that the complaint was going to “shit”, the comments not containing, according to him, direct threats addressed to Bourgeois. “It’s me who was offended and it’s me who must apologize, it’s the world turned upside down,” he protested.
“(Mr. Bourgeois, Editor's note) must understand that we are here for a long time,” he insisted, emphasizing that many of his RN colleagues were ignored in the same way by elected officials.
