Journalist Karim Rissouli publishes on social networks a racist letter received at his home

“Received this morning at my home. Not at work. Not on the networks. At home.” France 5 journalist Karim Rissouli announced in a post published on Instagram on Tuesday June 25 that he had received a racist letter at his home. Handwritten and anonymous, it intends to explain the vote in favor of the National Rally in the European elections of June 9. “The historic French people are fed up with all these idiots”is it mentioned in this message written on an envelope.

“You can go out of your way with your left-wing Islamo guests, you won’t change a thing. The Souchien will never accept you, nor your brothers, and even despite the number you will never own France”concludes the author of the letter.

The former minister and candidate for the legislative elections in Paris Clément Beaune brings him his “total” support. “Infamous”he laments on X. The boss of Ecologists, Marine Tondelier, also shares on the social network her “support” to the journalist. “Since the announcement of the dissolution, we have witnessed a release of racist speech”she laments.

Full support to @KRissouli.

Since the announcement of the dissolution, we have witnessed a liberation of racist speech.

Impunity already seems to reign as if the far right were already in power.

Let’s prevent this from ever happening #NewPopularFront https://t.co/3PzQnHlCDP
