This is a statement that embarrasses the National Rally (RN). While the elected environmentalist of Paris Fatoumata Koné protested on Wednesday February 7 against the evacuation of an exile camp, the former RN candidate for mayor of Paris attacked her on social networks . In his message, Serge Federbusch declares: “ Only one solution, re-migration, yours included » aimed at the young woman. Which sparked an immediate outcry.

“ I read the message and said to myself: “another idiot”. And then, when I actually realized who it was, I was a little more surprised. »
It is still in shock that Fatoumata Koné speaks this Thursday morning. But the environmentalist advisor from Paris is determined not to let Serge Federbusch’s declarations pass:
“ He still ran to be mayor of Paris for the RN in 2020, he’s not just anyone. When we allow ourselves a public message of this type, it is also revealing of what is currently happening in France. And it’s really dangerous. »
If support immediately flowed in from various political sides, no official position was taken on the side of the National Rally, and it is with a certain embarrassment that the deputy and spokesperson for the party, Laurent Jacobelli, speaks about the controversy on LCI:
“ First of all, he is not National Rally, he made a list in Paris where there were, it is true, National Rally candidates on it, but we cannot be responsible for everything that everyone says “.
Reacting to LCI’s remark: “ But it wasn’t the left that supported him…, it wasn’t LR that supported him… », Laurent Jacobelli declares: “ We I agree. If the question is: is our party for re-migration? The answer is no. »
Except that several of the RN’s allies at the European level, such as the AfD in Germany, or Chega in Portugal, support this idea of expelling millions of people of foreign origin. A subject as divisive as it is embarrassing for Marine Le Pen and her objective of demonization. This output is “ proof that basically nothing has changed », Estimates Fatoumata Koné who announced that she was going to file a complaint.
