(Franceinfo)
The two members of France Insoumise were heard on Tuesday April 30, after being summoned for their controversial comments on events in the Middle East. LFI accuses the government of censorship on the eve of the European elections.
Mathilde Panot and Rima Hassan were summoned before the police in the middle of the European election campaign for advocating terrorism. The two members of France Insoumise were singled out after comments made on the war in the Middle East. It was a press release dated October 7 that ignited the powder, when insoumise France drew a parallel between the armed offensive of the Palestinian forces and the intensification of the Israeli occupation policy. Rima Hassan, candidate for the European elections, was also summoned for having made comments deemed controversial towards Hamas in a media outlet. At the end of the hearing, his lawyer completely refutes these accusations.
LFI points the finger at the government
But would these summons have an impact in the middle of the European campaign? In the hemicycle, Tuesday April 30, a more than tense exchange took place between Manuel Bompard and Éric Dupond-Moretti. La France insoumise accuses the government of being in charge. For the moment, no one knows if the prosecution will bring charges against the two women. The procedure was sent to the prosecutor for assessment.
