The parliamentary attaché of ex-RN senator Stéphane Ravier, Antoine Baudino, will appear on May 9 in Marseille for violence against an activist from the National Rally, on the sidelines of a public meeting of the elected official in February, this activist told AFP, confirming information from Marsactu. This hearing for “voluntary violence” will take place before the Marseille police court, the local investigative media revealed on Thursday.
The facts occurred on February 10 during a public meeting organized by the senator from Bouches-du-Rhône in front of his parliamentary office in Marseille. He then announced to the 150 activists present that he was withdrawing “from all Parisian authorities” of the far-right party, after a conflict with an adviser to Marine Le Pen.
Mr. Ravier had formalized his rallying to Eric Zemmour three days later.
According to Enzo Alias, national and departmental delegate of the “Young people with Marine” movement, Antoine Baudino allegedly gave him a violent headbutt that evening, to the point of injuring him. The young man had immediately posted on the social network Twitter a photo of his face, blood flowing from his nose.
Lively exchanges on Twitter
Arrived at the public meeting of Stéphane Ravier, Enzo Alias would not have “even had time to say anything” that Antoine Baudino would have immediately asked him what he was doing there, he affirmed to l AFP Thursday: “I answer + listen, I do what I want, I’m on the public road +, and there he headbutted me directly”.
Contacted by AFP, Antoine Baudino, who has since become coordinator of Reconquête!, Eric Zemmour’s movement for the Bouches-du-Rhône, repeated the version already delivered to the regional daily La Provence: “I put on a fuss “, he said, evoking this gesture in rugby which designates the fact of placing his hand on the face of an opponent to push him away.
“With a fuss, it’s impossible to make someone’s nose bleed,” Alias told AFP.
Prior to their altercation, MM. Baudino and Alias had heated exchanges on Twitter. “I tweeted about Stéphane Ravier denouncing the fact that he was leaving the National Rally, (…) I tweeted violently several times, but never insulting him, and it did not please to his parliamentary assistant,” Alias told AFP.
