The rebellious MP Sébastien Delogu shared a death threat letter on X. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is also mentioned there.
Sébastien Delogu, a rebellious MP, appeared on Tuesday January 7 before the Marseille criminal court for willful violence after having hit an assistant principal and a CPE of a high school in the Marseille city during a blockade against pension reform last March . The prosecutor requested 6 months in prison and a 1000 euro fine against the accused. If the final decision will not be rendered until February 14, the parliamentarian faces another problem, of a completely different nature and a completely different seriousness. He shared on X, this Monday, January 13, the death threats he had recently received.
They were sent in the form of a printed letter, accompanied by a bullet. Written by “Committee 732” and dated January 1, 2025, the sender did not mince his words. “You and your antifa accomplices of the pseudo France insoumise, in reality France subject to the Islamist lobby, we send you a friendly warning,” we can read towards the beginning of the letter.
In the middle of the text, the death threats seem to extend to the one who is named the “führer” of rebellious France, namely Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who according to the sender “knows”: “his head will blow off one day” . Concerning Sébastien Delogu, who according to the writing can “still get away with it”, he is strongly urged to “stop his gesticulations and his provocations”. The sender also attacks Mathilde Panot, whom he insults as a “bitch” by recalling the time when she did not know how to say Public Senate where Palestine was precisely located in relation to the Jordan River.
Repeated threats denounced by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his party
These death threats do not seem to be a first for Sébastien Delogu given his comment: “It continues”, above his publication. The MP had, in fact, announced this summer that he had filed two complaints following death threats. The Marseille prosecutor’s office then opened an investigation for “threats of crime or misdemeanor against an elected official”.
According to Sébastien Delogu, these threats have increased since his positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He notably brandished a Palestinian flag in the hemicycle of the National Assembly and increased his speeches on this subject on social networks. He also published another letter last month which threatened him and those close to him and which he himself attributed to a “National Rally voter”.
For his part, Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounced, in a Youtube video last November, a “rotten” political-media atmosphere in France, which would be “created from scratch so that it ends badly” for the Insoumis. He pointed the finger in particular at Bruno Retailleau, whom he accused of attacking “Insoumis parliamentarians to accuse them of anti-Semitism”. “Several of us had to change our telephone number because we were harassed night and day. Some were physically pushed around and then threatened with death,” he lamented at the time. These would include deputies Aymeric Caron, Louis Boyard and Thomas Portes.
