Racist tags against migrants were discovered Friday on the permanence of an LFI deputy in Gironde, the day after the knife attack in Annecy committed by a Syrian refugee, which left six wounded, including four young children. The inscription "Your migrants, our dead" was discovered Friday morning on the roller shutter of the permanence of Loïc Prud'homme in Villenave-d'Ornon, in the suburbs of Bordeaux.

They can tag my permanence, my humanist and antiracist convictions are only strengthened, "responded on Twitter Loïc Prud'homme.

The deputy of the 3rd constituency of the Gironde received the support of the leader of the Insoumis, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who pointed the finger at the "racist extreme right". "The murderer of Annecy is imputed to us. Abject political recuperation. Total solidarity with Loïc," the former presidential candidate wrote on the same platform.
