LFI MP Thomas Portes announced, Wednesday November 13, 2024, that he had filed a complaint for “death threats” for a letter received at the Assembly. The author of this missive promised him “a bullet in the head”.

“Acid in the mouth”

“You have family, they will get acid in the mouth” (and) “then you will take a bullet”, can we read in particular on the handwritten letter, consulted by theAFP, and also revealed by Libération.

A mention “we are the GUD” also appears at the bottom of the sheet as an initial. The Union Defense Group, an ultra-right movement, was dissolved in June.
On the back of the sheet there is also a swastika drawn.

The parliamentarian indicated that he had received it in his mail to the National Assembly.
“I am a target of the far right for years. In 2018 Génération identitaire sued me, which I won, because I had described them as neo-Nazis. It has obviously accelerated since I became a parliamentarian,” declared Thomas Portes, contacted by theAFPspecifying that he has already filed a complaint on several occasions for death threats received by mail, by telephone or by messages on social networks.

“When you are a political leader you are unfortunately used to it. But it's enough destabilizing for those around you too, who must be protected,” he lamented, denouncing a “resurgence of hateful messages.”
