The deputy MR Denis Ducarme is not the type to panic quickly, he who often touches on sensitive matters such as security, drug trafficking or even… terrorism. In 2010, he had already received death threats while he defended the ban on the Burqa: “I then made a simple report. Considering what we are experiencing today, perhaps I should have already filed a complaint.”
This Monday, the liberal received a message on his Instagram account that was both evasive but offensive enough to react. “I know that social networks are violent but this is not regarding hatred, insults or defamation but regarding threats.”
“You seem bored, you’ll regret it,” reads this message.
Certainly, no direct allusion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For Denis Ducarme, this threat might also follow a publication that the elected MR shared a month ago. It was a video of a street deal filmed by an MR affiliate, in broad daylight, right in front of her house, rue Neuve. This video suggested that street dealing is a daily occurrence in Charleroi. Where Denis Ducarme will be a candidate for the Communales.

“But the timing of this threat would, it’s true, make me think first of my positions since the start of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Carolo, however, does not have the feeling of having been outrageous on this issue, of having thrown fuel on the fire. In any case, he does not take anything away from what he was able to state as a point of view on this conflict.
“The Hamas attack left a thousand dead, civilians, families, children. I hear elected officials like Zakia Khattabi or Raoul Hedebouw say that Hamas is resisting or is a party and that its members are not terrorists. This is denying reality. Yes, they are terrorists. But saying that isn’t even a personal opinion. For European authorities, Hamas is a terrorist group. It is cataloged as such. They have blood on their hands”
Denis Ducarme criticizes the PTB’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: “It is totally unworthy, abject and repugnant”
Filing a complaint was not the liberal’s first instinct. “It takes more to scare me. But I forwarded the threat to a judicial police department. There was a screening. And I make no secret of being surprised when they came back to me to advise me to file a complaint. ‘You are a public figure. We still know where you are. You must make this threat known, they told me.”
What Denis Ducarme announces that he will do this Thursday at the PJ.
And for the deputy, the moment is also one of radical resolutions: “From now on, I will no longer let anything pass. Insulted, attacked on the networks, I will block. Threatened or defamed, I file a complaint, at the very least I report. People need to understand that we cannot afford everything on social networks, like everywhere. They are not a virtual world but very real. What is broadcast there does not escape the law and abuse is punishable.”
