“It was with amazement and anger that I read this article (article of Parisian published in the newspaper of May 13, editor’s note), seriously jeopardizing my honor and that of my family, ”reacted the former elected official Communist.
The latter ensures that he is not affected by the reported facts. “Obviously, Ihave taken up contact with my lawyer to study the legal consequences which could be engaged following these serious accusations ”.
“Republicans” instead of “Republicans”
In his defense, Daniel Feurtet explains that it is Marc Boulanger, his longtime political opponent (DVD) who is behind the candidacy. It was on her list that Marylène Bocquillon appeared in the 2008 municipal elections.
A version supported by Marc Boulanger himself, who wrote a letter addressed to the prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis, dated Wednesday May 12, 2021. This letter,News Seine-Saint-Denis was able to consult, has for object: “Error of title submission of candidatures”.
“(…). I had asked Madame Marylene Bocquillon and Monsieur Franck Gennevraye to be a candidate for the canton of Blanc Mesnil during the Departmental election on June 20 and 27. (…). This candidacy should be called “REPUBLICAINS.” However, your service made a major error detrimental to the candidates, since the elections office has registered this list under the heading “THE REPUBLICANS” political formation of which these candidates do not have the nomination. This resulted in serious inconvenience and non-participation of these candidates in this election. (…) “
The former right-wing municipal councilor also explains that he is ” impatient to know the exact causes of this incident ”.
“The mayor of Blanc-Mesnil is not not on his first try against the Communists (…). This time, it is first on Facebook and on Twitter, then in the far-right press, that he accuses the Communists, including our comrade and friend Daniel Feurtet, of being behind the constitution of a right-wing pair in the departmental elections. (…). We know that this is not the case ”, for his part reacted the local branch of the Communist Party.
In addition, the Prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis is seized of the case and criminal proceedings are being considered by the various actors and bodies in charge of the case.
