I was in Le Mans, in my house, with my daughters and their father, and a friend of my youngest daughter (…) and they came to scream, I was sleeping, it woke me up (…) they were shouting insults and that ‘They had come to kill me. They said Schiappa, we’re going to decapitate you, bitch, we’ve come to kill you, we’re going to slit your throat. It’s very, very violent. The girls came crying. I told them to go and hide until the police arrived in case they managed to break down the doors and windows, because they were banging on the shutters, doors, etc. It’s quite traumatic, especially for children” confided Marlène Schiappa.
