The rapper Médine is summoned before the Albi prosecutor in November, following having broadcast a video in April where he threw darts at photos of two elected officials from Tarn, we learned on Wednesday August 23 from the prosecution. “He is summoned on November 6 to appear on prior recognition of guilt on the count of provocation to the commission of a crime or misdemeanor”Prosecutor Stéphanie Bazart told AFP.
This summons comes following “the broadcast of a video on April 1 in which he threw darts at photographs” of the mayor LR of Lavaur (Tarn) Bernard Carayon and of the deputy of the National Rally (RN) Frédéric Cabrolier, she specified. “I expect an exemplary condemnation for this rapper, invited by the ecologists of EELV, then by France Insoumise (…) despite his recent anti-Semitic remarks”reacted Mr. Carayon who, like Mr. Cabrolier, had opposed the arrival of Medina for a concert in Albi on April 1st.
Controversial figure
Controversial rapper, Médine has been accused in the past of taking positions “homophobes” or accused of “Islamist”. In a message two weeks ago on the social network X (formerly Twitter), he called the essayist Rachel Khan, Jewish and granddaughter of deportees, “resKHANpée”. An expression that he later regretted, denying himself of being anti-Semitic. He renewed his apologies in two interviews with the Parisian and to Paris-Normandy, Wednesday, on the eve of his participation in a political debate at the EELV summer days in his hometown of Le Havre. He assures that he had no “not in mind the history of his family” when he published this “awkward tweet”in response to a message from Rachel Khan calling him a “waste”.
