On YouTube, a channel shared, a few days after the results of the first round of the French parliamentary elections, a violent clip attacking the far-right National Rally (NR), which scored close to 34%, and encouraging listeners to vote for the left-wing New Popular Front (NPF), which scored close to 28%.
While claiming to be only “artistically violent,” the song's lyrics contain a number of insults and threats directed at specific individuals. Among other insults, it calls NR president Jordan Bardella a dead man, and calls to f*** his mother. The singer also threatens to “come out with a big caliber” if the “fascists” [i.e. the NR] win the second round of elections. The song attacks Freemasons, accusing: “You feed on the blood you consume.”
The clip attacks other figures as well, including French-Tunisian Imam of Drancy, Hassen Chalghoumi, who has long promoted interreligious dialogue and understanding. The clip says: “F*** Imam Chalghoumi and those who will follow the Sheytan [Satan] at any price.” It further castigates “Parliament members” who “want to insert a sim in our blood,” accompanied by a photo of Bill Gates in the background, possibly referring to the Covid vaccine. Prominent NR members Marine le Pen and Marion Marechal are called “whores,” and the clip suggests beating “these bitches in heat” with a stick.
In another violent outburst, the lyrics encourage: “Come on, let’s take our bayonets.” The final part of the clip is about Palestine: “My heart is in Palestine”…“Palestine from the [French river] Seine to the Jordan River."
As of July 4, the clip has amassed 99,000 likes and 1.8 million views. The full report provides excerpts from the lyrics and still images from the clip.
