Departmental representative of the National Rally in Mayotte, Saidali Boina Hamissi who describes Vladimir Putin as a “visionary” will be present on the list led by Jordan Bardella in the next European elections.
From Mayotte, last Saturday, Marine Le Pen announced the nomination to the National Rally (RN) list of Saidali Boina Hamissi for the European elections. The member for Pas-de-Calais was pleased to have in her ranks for the first time a Mahorais among her candidates. Member since 2017, Saidali Boina Hamissi has been the strong man of the party in Mayotte for more than a year.
Aged 63, he should not be in an eligible position on the list led by Jordan Bardella until the continental vote. “I do not have the exact position. There will be two overseas representatives who will be in an eligible position and therefore probably in an ineligible position” for the latter, indicated Marine Le Pen. “Unless the voters decide otherwise,” she explained on the television channel The 1st. A craze which could quickly die down due to the attacks against his running mate, after numerous questionable publications from the Mahorais on his Facebook page, revealed this Monday by the newspaper Release.
“Vermin” and “cockroaches”
Polygamy, conspiracy theory, admiration for Putin, controversial remarks about women… The publications seen on the Mahorais Facebook account raise questions. “A woman’s submission comes naturally when she feels loved, protected and valued (sic) by her husband” reports Libération in particular. In messages dating from 2017, he describes the residents of a neighborhood of Mamoudzou targeted by a police operation as “vermin” and “cockroaches”.
A few years later, in 2022, he also relayed a video from the “Pan-Africanists” page maintaining that “there is no Islamic territory. These are mercenaries recruited, paid, trained, armed and protected by Western governments, notably those of the US and France. But that’s not all, the 63-year-old man likens vaccines against Covid-19 to a “business” because of which “you risk dying”. Finally, he described the master of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin as a “visionary” in March 2022, shortly after the invasion of the Russian army in Ukraine. A message to which he added: “France will become in twenty years the colony of its former colonies”, a quote from the Russian president.
“Have we looked at the values held by this candidate?”
The appointment of Saidali Boina Hamissi quickly provoked a reaction from the majority. The messages revealed by Release had the gift of infuriating the government spokesperson, Prisca Thevenot: “Sorry, but have we looked at this candidate? Have we looked at the values held by this candidate? I’m talking about M Saidali Boina Hamissi who participated in conspiracy theories, who made extremely serious and dangerous remarks against women, on the supposed submission of women in relation to their spouse” she indicated this Tuesday on the. LCI tray.
The Minister of Overseas Marie Guévenoux was not kind to the Mahorais either: “This gentleman, visibly, has an admiration for Putin, he supports polygamy, he makes extremely dehumanizing remarks. Which strikes me with the National Rally, it is never their fault” we could hear on South Radio. Finally, questioned about the absence of a complete official list in the camp of the majority (Renaissance), Prisca Thevenot wanted to put a layer on the National Rally: “It will arrive. I prefer to take the time rather than we do a quick and dangerous little casting like the RN” she criticizes. Less than two months before the European election, the blows are raining down.
