E. wrote that Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis and a member of LFI, which E. described as France's far-left party, was often seen with masked individuals whom E. called hooligans. E. claimed that Bagayoko seemed satisfied with the chaos and suggested that the riots received support from the left. E. also referred to France's ban on face coverings in public places, which according to E. was regulated by "LOI n° 2010-1192 du 11 octobre 2010 interdisant la dissimulation du visage dans l'espace public." E. wrote that the violation usually resulted in fines, but imprisonment could be part of the penalty for masking in connection with certain crimes, such as violence, threats, or hate crimes. #Frankrike #Politik #LFI (translated)
