The mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique), Dorothée Pacaud (without label), elected on June 9, is preparing to file a fourth complaint against the “intimidation” of the far right, a-t – she announced Monday to Agence France-Presse. “We must put an end to this intimidation and this incitement to hatred and violence and stop making people targets,” said Dorothée Pacaud.
The mayor of Saint-Brevin, who, like her predecessor, has been the target of invective from the far right for several months, chose to file a complaint “whenever it [was] judicially possible”.
Her first two complaints were filed when she was still acting mayor of this seaside resort of 14,800 inhabitants, after the resounding resignation of her predecessor, Yannick Morez, on May 9, himself targeted by threats and violence. of the extreme right.
Ms. Pacaud’s first complaint concerns a letter sent to the town hall of Saint-Brevin and signed with a false name which contained abusive remarks towards Yannick Morez and herself. The second complaint targets the far-right site Riposte laïque describing Dorothée Pacaud as an elected “pro-migrant” and a “dangerous woman for Saint-Brevin”. Originally published in February, it was republished the day Mr. Morez’s resignation was announced.
“Degrading and threatening comments”
His third complaint was filed on June 15 against the Collective for the preservation of the Pierre attelée, made up of residents opposed to the transfer of a reception center for asylum seekers to the town (CADA), for remarks published on their Facebook page.
In this publication, the collective publishes a copy of a letter asking to be received at the town hall with the following comment: “When you think about what has just happened in Annecy, any normally constituted woman or mother would have stopped the CADA project in his school”.
The fourth complaint, which has not yet been filed, again concerns the Riposte laïque site, for a new article “containing insulting remarks and opening the door to degrading and threatening comments”, specifies the elected official.
The city councilor also confides that he received this weekend in his mailbox a leaflet “making odious amalgamations between Saint-Brevin, Annecy and abominable miscellaneous facts”, a document distributed according to her to other elected officials of the commune and against which she will not file a complaint. “I denounce this way of putting pressure on elected officials,” she added.
