Days agoโafter two long years of being repeatedly subjected to racial and homophobic abuse, including physical attacks by foreignersโa Socialist council member in Les Mureaux, a commune in the northwest suburbs of Paris, has announced his resignation from the position.
The nature of these latest episodes, I will not hide from you, have been violent and have deeply called into question the link I had with the town and with its inhabitants. Venon went on to describe the latest incident, which took place a few weeks ago, following a routine altercation between him and another driver. The former city council member had been driving with a friend when a group of foreign men inside a vehicle hurled racial and homophobic insults at him, chased him back to his home, then threatened to kill him.
There are many victims of discrimination, racism, and violence. This is not unique to Les Mureaux, and it must question us collectively. It also requires the support of the State services. And it's a man who has spent his entire political career on the left who tells you," the city council member said in his resignation speech.
