François Bouchart, the Mayor of Roissy-en-Brie (Seine-et-Marne), is shocked. On Monday February 21, while he was in a meeting with leaders of his municipality, a man entered his office playing Islamic music on his smartphone and holding up a Quran, reports La République de Seine-et-Marne. The man, who was about 40 years old, had his head covered and his face covered with an anti-Covid mask. He originated from the municipality and was already known to the police. He was initially taken into police custody but was eventually committed ex officio as he was not undergoing psychiatric treatment. “I did not get involved in politics to endanger my life, but to defend the interests of my people,” the mayor responded, announcing that he had filed a complaint.
“Before his arrest, the man, who was obviously mentally unbalanced, became increasingly threatening,” the municipality said in a press release. “Do you have a problem with Islam? I know where you live,” the man allegedly said to a female member of the elected representative’s staff, according to Le Parisien.
Lionel Beffre, prefect of the Seine-et-Marne department, also reacted via social media: “The mayor of Roissy-en-Brie was threatened this morning in his office by a person, with Islamic music playing and a Koran placed on the desk top. This is unacceptable. I support the elected representatives of this department in every way. Vigilance is required for their safety”. The LR Mayor of Chelles Brice Rabaste (LR) or the MP of Seine-et-Marne Patricia Lemoine (Agir) have also pledged their support to the Mayor of Roissy-en-Brie.
