Legislative elections in Val-de-Marne: meeting with Mathilde Pano, deputy of Shannon Seban, “starred”

Two days of campaigning will be enough. This Monday, the Renaissance candidate Shannon Seban, child of Seine-Saint-Denis and elected in Rosny-sous-Bois, sent by Macroni to challenge Mathilde Panaud (LFI) in the 10th constituency in these early legislative elections, announced that her deputy “withdrew” from the election campaign.

Muayad Mnemoi, 23, a sports instructor from Vitry-sur-Seine, has suffered a torrent of “racist comments,” “threats” and “intimidation” from extremes since announcing his candidacy.

“When you’re new to politics, it can be scary.”

“When you’re new to politics like him it can be overwhelming and scary, I want to protect him, he can’t jeopardize his job.” The reason why the young man will no longer appear on the field. He also closed his account on X. However, he remains a backup.

What words, what threats? Shannon Seban doesn’t want to go into detail, but blames both the far right and the far left. “Let’s not be deceived. If the far right is motivated by hatred of others, the far left uses methods inspired by Stalinism to prevent civil society from interfering in politics,” she condemns, also referring to what she had to endure in her early days in Saint-Saint-St. Denis. . She also denies that she was “parachuted”. “A parachute drop is when you are sent to a victorious constituency.”

So why take on the challenge? “I agreed precisely because it is Matilda Pano, the president of the LFI group, anti-Semitic since October 7, who is causing chaos in the House. I fight against their ideas, as well as against the ideas of RN,” warns the woman who made a name for herself in the fight against anti-Semitism. Neither the candidate nor her entourage responded to the question.
