Who is the former elected FN des Mureaux who ruined Miriam Kahn’s work at the Tokyo Palace?

He is described as “very right”. In any case, in these terms, the Mayor (DVG) Mureau (Yvelines) recalls Pierre Chassine, former elected National Front (now National Rally) in the municipal council. city, and who would have been the author of the degradation, Sunday, the work of Miriam Kahn in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (XVI).

An 81-year-old man is suspected of spraying purple paint on Swiss artist’s painting “To hell with abstraction.” A controversial work, her detractors, including Carl Zero and RN spokesperson Caroline Parmentier, accuse her of promoting child pornography. Rima’s Minister of Culture, Abdul-Malak, nonetheless defended “freedom of speech and creativity guaranteed by law,” but the museum was on the alert.

The Paris prosecutor’s office opened an investigation into the damage to exhibited cultural property after the arrest of an eighty-year-old citizen. Under interrogation on Tuesday, Marine Le Pen denied any responsibility, explaining the gesture as “personal behavior.”

Comments relayed on the spot by Laurent Morin, secretary of department RN 78, which denounces this act. “Our party obviously has nothing to do with this. This is a personal initiative of someone who does not participate in the National Rally. Other activists, on the other hand, have carried out similar actions, claiming them and carrying them out on behalf of the party or association without much concern. Double standards bother me. »

“He was very isolated in the city council”

The suspect would thus be Pierre Chassin, Le Parisien reported on Tuesday, confirming Le Monde’s report. He resigned from the municipal council of Les Mureau in 2015 and also casually ended his mandate as councilor of the Seine-Vexin community.

At the time, he believed he had reached the “age limit” of an elected official. He topped the FN list, which in the first (and only) round of the 2014 municipal elections, won 20% of the vote and came second behind outgoing mayor François Garay (DVG). He succeeded in bringing four elected members of the city council under the “Navy Blue” banner.

“He’s only been with us for two years,” Mayor François Garay, who is nearing the end of his fourth term, said Tuesday. Thus, he was a hidden adversary with clear ideas, very right from right. As a result, he was very isolated in the city council, including among his associates. He came from another city and was not at all in the spirit of Mureau. As you can imagine, we talked very little…”

Former supporter of French Algeria and mercenary in the Congo.

A graduate of the Institute of Political Studies (IEP) in Paris and the Institute of Business Administration, Pierre Chassin is the son of Air Force General Lionel Chassin, one of the protagonists of the May 13, 1958 military coup in Algiers.

A student of Science Po in the 1960s, a supporter of French Algeria, he was very active in the OAS in Paris. At the age of 19, when Algeria had just won independence, Pierre Chassin was seized with “great disgust at what France seemed to have become.” He wants to “join the fight that justifies [son] existence”. And he dreams of “fighting for the West.” He talks about this in his autobiographical book “Barud for Another Life”, published in 2000.

The young student then sends everything, including preparation for the National School of Management (ENA) entrance exams, to sign up as a mercenary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo along with Bob Denard’s “Affreux”. He fights in Katanga, a former province of the Congo. Then he joined South Africa. In a sailboat he built alone, Pierre Chassin became the first Frenchman to cross the South Atlantic alone.
