Taken to task while they were sitting on the terrace of a café, the two deputies from La France insoumise alerted the President of Marseille for threats and insulting remarks made by a Marseille lawyer against them, reports Le Figaro, Thursday 26 september.
Manuel Bompard and Sébastien Delogu decided to take legal action. As reported Le FigaroThursday September 26, the two deputies of La France insoumise (LFI) decided to file a complaint for “ethical breach, insulting remarks and threats made by a lawyer from the Marseille bar“. The two parliamentarians announced that they had contacted the President of the Marseille Bar Association following an altercation they had in the Marseille city, Thursday September 19, with a lawyer from the Marseille Bar, against the background Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
While they were seated on a café terrace, Manuel Bompard and Sébastien Delogu were attacked by a woman whom they introduced as Me Anouck Aragones. “HASh, the great team. Are you well, ladies and gentlemen? Very happy with the Hezbollah attack […] Your pagers haven’t gone off?“And later, in the conversation, Maître Anouck Aragones assures: “I am very happy that the terrorists are dying!“. Before concluding: “Beep-beep, soon beep-beep“. This verbal altercation occurred a few hours after two waves of explosions from booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies struck Hezbollah members in Lebanon, leaving 37 dead and nearly 3,000 injured.
Manuel Bompard and Sébastien Delogu demand “appropriate disciplinary measures”
In their letter sent to the President of Marseille, Manuel Bompard and Sébastien Delogu criticize “insulting remarks and unacceptable threats“and ask”appropriate disciplinary measures“against the lawyer.”This behavior raises questions not only on a criminal level, but also on ethical matters, write the deputies. As a lawyer, Ms. Aragones is subject to an obligation of reserve and dignity, which makes these actions even more unacceptable, both for the honor of our office and for that of the legal profession and undermines the ‘image of the bar that you represent“, they write. According to article 433-3 of the Penal Code, people who use “threats, violence or commit any other act of intimidation” incur a fine of 150,000 euros and a penalty of 10 years in prison.
