An elected official from Doubs, already convicted of advocating terrorism, insults Bruno Retailleau

What is Ismaël Boudjekada looking for? In a publication dating from this morning, the 29-year-old opposition municipal representative from the commune of Grand Charmont (Doubs) welcomes the possible fall of the government and more specifically that of the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau. “This son of a whore will finally disappear from the government. El hamdoulillah (“Praise be to God”, editor’s note)”he wrote on X, in the caption of an NFP post. A post praised by 6000 likes. Completed a few hours later by this cryptic message: “Catin/Pétain”.

What follows is a low-level skirmish with a Reconquest candidate! in the last legislative elections, Philippe Houplain. The latter shouts: “Beyond the insult to a minister in office on the part of an elected representative of the Republic, know that you are simply NOTHING.” To which Ismaël Boudjekada replies: “Know that you are taking the time to write to someone who you present as NOTHING. So you are less than NOTHING. Kawed.” This last expression meaning in Arabic “fuck off”in the kindest version.

Statements hostile to Jews

Le Charmontais, candidate in the 9th constituency of French people living abroad for the legislative elections, has already made himself known through positions that are, to say the least, subversive. On October 17, he saluted the memory of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, orchestrator of the October 7 attacks, killed in an Israeli strike. “A hero is dead”he wrote on He called Hamas “organization of Palestinian resistance”.

At the beginning of November, after the serious attacks on Israeli supporters in Amsterdam, on the sidelines of a match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Ismaël Boudjekada once again distinguished himself in a register flirting with anti-Semitism. “They didn’t catch enough, I wish I was in Amsterdam to race a few,” he wrote on X.

Guest of Sud Radio last June, Ismaël Boudjekada also expressed his unvarnished opinion on homosexuality: “It’s not in the natural order of things.” Before adding : “In Islam it is a sin, but one that can be forgiven.” At the time, Marine Tondelier, the national secretary of EELV, made a point of dissociating this character from the NFP, of which he was and continues to be a supporter. “He’s a dissident. It would have been immediately disinvested otherwise”she reacted on X.
