Dieudonné is persona non grata in Toulouse. Mayor Jean-Luc Moudenc must sign a decree on Wednesday prohibiting this “cantor of anti-Semitism » to perform on the territory of the municipality with his new show Under strap, an allusion to the electronic bracelet that he must wear outside his professional activities after a new conviction. “Faced with the provocations of the anti-Semitic factions, the Republican camp must remain firm (…) in view of the bundles of clues auguring both disturbances to public order and new attacks on the dignity of the person”, argues Jean-Luc Moudenc.
The city councilor also points to the vagueness that the controversial comedian maintains on the places where he must perform. His Toulouse show is announced for this Thursday, August 17, but the address should only be sent to reservation holders “a few hours before the performance”, by SMS or e-mail.
Mystery place and regulatory difficulties
“This deliberately maintained vagueness means that the prohibition order is not an ideal instrument, recognizes Jean-Luc Moudenc. However, I decide to use it to signify the unity and inflexibility of the Republican camp in the face of these provocations and gesticulations. “The elected therefore calls” for regulatory changes to really ensure the public order of the shows and performances in question “.
