Dieudonné present at the tribute ceremony to Le Pen? Already tensions

The controversial comedian announced on X that he would be there, the judge having accepted that he go to the event despite the measure of home detention under electronic surveillance to which he is subject.

A link considered sufficiently notable for the public prosecutor to reconsider its decision. From there to convince the security service responsible for validating the entries which, they say in Marine Le Pen’s entourage, will be “very controlled”? Nothing is less certain…
