Invited on the LCI set, Mathieu Kassovitz saw an extract of his intervention diverted to give the impression that he hoped to see the far right win in the next legislative elections. What he defended himself from.
LEGISLATIVE – He chose to make things clear. While he was the subject of criticism after a fallacious use of his words, some seeking to make him say that the National Rally “perhaps its place in France” and “this might be an experiment worth trying”Mathieu Kassovitz castigated, this Sunday, June 23, the “idiots, imbeciles, assholes” having pretended not to understand his intervention.
Returning to the reactions aroused by a passage from his interview given the day before to LCI, the director of Hatea cult film about police violence, released one “larger extract” on Instagram.
« Propaganda tools »
“For all the idiots, imbeciles, assholes who use the same propaganda tools as the fascists and accuse me of having declared to vote RN”he thundered on Instagram, inviting “see the full 25 minutes on LCI (if you have the cognitive abilities) and form your own opinion (if you have one)”. All before concluding by inviting “vote next week” for the legislative elections.

As explained Le HuffPost by listening to the full length of the interview with Mathieu Kassovitz, the actor was indeed going in a completely different direction than that which the extract of around thirty seconds widely reproduced on social networks seemed to mean.
In the latter, he explained: “I have always been waiting a little for the arrival of the FN (National Front, the former name of the RN, editor’s note) to power, to see what the real reaction of the French is. Are we really the country of human rights or have we become something else? It’s also interesting, because maybe we have become something else, and we have to accept that too. »
A vote “necessarily on the left”
And to continue: “maybe the FN has its place in France, and maybe they will do a better job, and maybe it’s an experiment to try. I think we’ll never know who we are if we haven’t been through this stage. »
Except that by listening to the entire extract, it proved difficult to make Mathieu Kassovitz a new convert to lepenism. Indeed, in the minutes preceding the famous sequence, the actor castigated the « fachos » who the representatives of the RN are in his eyes.
And when asked about his desire to demonstrate in the event of a victory for Jordan Bardella’s party, Mathieu Kassovitz let out a nervous laugh, explaining that, in his opinion, it would lead to nothing. Because that would not go far enough compared to what he considers necessary to counter the far right. “I’m not really into protesting. I am for… I am going to get myself into trouble… I am for the revolution, violence in the face of violence”further details the actor, before expressing himself on the scenario of the RN coming to power.
Moreover, during this same interview, Mathieu Kassovitz explains that he would vote “necessarily on the left” if he voted and he did not “never understood the people who vote National Front”. Difficult to be more eloquent.
