Tension escalates. A few hours after Jean-Luc Mélenchon's mention of attacks or murders "written in advance" in the run-up to the presidential elections, causing him unanimous criticism from the political class, the leader of the Insoumis launched an "
alert to the call for murder
”. The cause: a video posted Sunday evening on YouTube by Papacito - a blogger with controversial content claiming 100,000 subscribers - and entitled "Is leftism bulletproof?" In this 19-minute video, we can see Papacito in military uniform training to shoot a mannequin dressed in a T-shirt on which it is written "I am communist" and supposed to represent a voter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

We will see if the basic equipment of the guy who votes Jean-Luc Mélenchon will allow him to resist the potential attack by a terrorist on the territory
", announces Papacito before using a weapon, then a knife, to several times on the mannequin's body.
Relaying this scene of great violence, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was indignant on his blog about a "
morbid and violent atmosphere (...) maintained against the rebels and against me by name.

This time, it is straightforwardly a call for murder,
" declared the presidential candidate.
The deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône also indicates that he made a report to Pharos - a platform created by the government to allow Internet users to report illegal content published on the internet - as well as to the military commander of the Palais Bourbon. "
I call on the organizers of withering campaigns - political activists and the media - to measure their responsibilities in this context,
" wrote the elected official.
