In mid-June, several residents of Chatoux, in Yvelines, were the targets of racist letters. On Wednesday, it was in Perpignan, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, that Brigitte, 62, received a similar missive with violent remarks, reports Actu Perpignan

The self-employed woman shared this letter on Facebook, dated July 1. “It stinks,” she wrote. But I’m not going to let it happen”

“I would like to write to you today to advise you on an important decision concerning your property,” the letter begins, then referring to the first round of the legislative elections: “The situation in Perpignan has changed considerably”

“It appears that you are no longer welcome in this city,” continues the text, with racist and threatening remarks, which urges the sixty-year-old to “sell her property as quickly as possible”. “Once the sale has been concluded to a family of good native French people, I advise you to prepare your departure for Africa”

“You must realize that your personal well-being and your property are no longer safe because you are no longer welcome today in Saint-Mathieu, where we will, starting in September, carry out a merciless and virulent cleansing of the neighborhood in order to restore the Catalan atmosphere of yesteryear,” we can then read

The letter is signed “La division Marcel Bucard de Perpignan”, named after the founder of the Francoist Movement, a fascist and collaborationist group, shot in 1946, as well as a “French Popular Movement”
