“Collabo” written in red, “shame on the Nazi past”, “France = totalitarianism”.
The showcase of the permanence of the deputy Muriel Roques-Etienne (LREM) in Albi (Tarn) was tagged this weekend.
The elected official denounced this Sunday morning “shameful degradations” on Twitter.
"Collabo", "Nazi" ... Yesterday, my office suffered shameful degradation.
Death threats, aggression, degradation, all that will not stop me and motivate me even more to continue my mandate. # PassSanitaire @LaREM_AN pic.twitter.com/78pa5XjcOe

"It is a bit the daily life of parliamentarians today to live with this type of threats and degradation", she explained to France 3, assuring that she was going to file a complaint.
Substitute for Philippe Folliot, Muriel Roques-Etienne became full member a year ago, when Folliot was elected senator.
In July, around fifteen anti-vaccine demonstrators invaded the office of President of the National Assembly Richard Ferrand (LREM) in Châteaulin (Finistère), before being put to flight by a gendarmerie patrol.
If they hadn't degraded anything, they had “behaved or acted like death threats”.
Antivaccines or antipass are not the first to exercise this type of violence against politicians: the last municipal elections were marked by slippages of this kind, and before that the days of mobilization of yellow vests.
But the violence is fortunately less marked than in other democracies.
In Britain, for example, British Conservative MP David Amess was killed in his tenure eight days ago, five years after the death of British MP Jo Cox.
She had been shot in the middle of the street by a man who criticized her for her anti-Brexit positions.
