The two elected officials from New Aquitaine will file a complaint together on Wednesday.
Saturday evening, Medina threw its audience a piñata bearing the image of Edwige Diaz (RN), Julie Rechagneux (RN) and Geoffroy Gary (Reconquest), three far-right politicians.
A provocation assumed and signed by the rapper Monday on Twitter with a snapshot of the moment.
Addressing its three targets, it is captioned: “
Happy Easter
”.
"
It's insidious, but it's an anti-Christian attack
," Julie Rechagneux indignantly told Le
Figaro
on Tuesday.
“
I am surprised that a man who is supposed to be religious utters messages of hatred in the middle of Ramadan.
We see where the limits of the faith of this gentleman are
, ”criticizes the elected official in Lormont (Gironde).
In the Mexican tradition, a piñata is a hollow earthenware object, filled with sweets, which must be broken with a stick at Christmas.
Composed of seven spades driven into a head which represent the seven deadly sins and the figure of the devil, the sweets which are released from it symbolize the graces of God after having overcome evil.
Considered by those concerned as "
an incitement to hatred and violence
" and "
thug methods
", the rapper's gesture and his advertising on social networks "
shock
" right-wing and far-right politicians.
The silence of our political opponents alone illustrates their submission
Alexandre Sabatou, RN deputy for Oise
"
Inciting on stage to hit a woman has, alas, nothing very surprising on the part of the author of the album" Jihad "
", thus tackles Stanislas Rigault (Reconquest).
While Laura Lavalette (RN) adds: “
Let these cowards be warned
: we will NEVER lower our eyes to them!
“Remarks to which Nicolas Bay (Reconquest) echoed: “
The rapper Medina had accustomed us to provocations and troubled relations with the Islamist movement.
But it would seem that he surpasses himself in ignominy by calling for unabashed violence against elected officials.
The Vice-President of the National Assembly, Sébastien Chenu (RN) and the deputies Grégoire de Fournas (RN) and Franck Allisio (RN) subscribe to this condemnation.
Their counterpart Alexandre Sabatou (RN) goes further by saying: “
The silence of our political adversaries alone illustrates their submission.
»
Edwige Diaz (RN) and Julie Rechagneux (RN) had refused on April 3 to vote a regional subsidy of 65,000 euros in favor of the performance hall "
Le Florida
", welcoming the rapper to Agen (New-Aquitaine).
They expected this “
shocking
” provocation of which the rapper is “
customary
”.
“
It seems logical to us that he should be sentenced, especially in a context where attacks and outrages against elected officials are exploding.
How long are we going to accept this
?
Are we expecting a tragedy
?
“, insists Julie Rechagneux.

“My apologies to Piñatas around the world”
Faced with political reactions of support for the elected officials targeted, the rapper Médine persists and signs.
"
I want to apologize to the Piñatas around the world for making them support this RN MP cosplay
," he replied on Twitter.
A boundless one-upmanship.
This Tuesday, while Marine Le Pen denounces "
an infamy
" by calling on justice to seize and condemn the "
threats of the Islamist rapper Medina
", the latter reacts straight away.
“
For my niña's birthday, I'm ordering Marine in a Piñata.
PS
: see you in Le Havre on May 1 for the counter-party inchallah
“, can we read on the profile with the blue bird of the rapper.
The phrase refers to the lyrics of his song
KYLL
.
Launched before his show in Agen, a controversy erupted in early April when political figures asked for the cancellation of his concert in Albi.
In response, the rapper had posted a video on his Instagram account where he aimed with darts at the photographs of the mayor of Lavaur, Bernard Carayon (LR), and the deputy of Tarn, Frédéric Cabrolier (RN).
