“Baboon supporters”, “white genocide”… The Pétainist, racist and homophobic messages of RN MP Caroline Parmentier

A close friend of Marine Le Pen for years, a journalist at Présent , before being hired by the National Rally (RN) and then becoming a member of parliament, Caroline Parmentier has today become an important cog in the French far right. As Marine Le Pen's press advisor, she notably worked to "de-demonize" the RN. But the content of her Facebook profile, deactivated in 2018, clearly shows that this party still has the same rancid, racist, homophobic, and Pétainist undertones.

Consulted by Mediapart , his old profile on the social network is edifying . Caroline Parmentier, on the subject of a photo of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron , accompanied by two men in the Antilles, writes for example: " Macron's white shirt: washed with Omo?" A few weeks earlier, she also attacked Robin Campillo's film, 120 Beats per Minute , describing it as "propaganda for gay marriage, panegyric for migrants, praise of abortion, gay communitarianism."

Her conspiratorial posts also speak of a "great European replacement" and "white genocide in South Africa ." Following Présent 's editorial line, she also says she "respects" and "defends" Marshal Pétain. This admiration for a traitor to France and the first collaborator with Nazism unsurprisingly goes hand in hand with racist messages. Regarding the football world, which she considers to be corrupted, she writes: "baboon supporters, star players who are thugs from the housing projects and whose money has gone to their heads too quickly, the example comes from higher up."

Attacks that extend to left-wing activists. After the conviction of the skinheads involved in the death of Clément Méric, she expressed outrage, speaking of " exceptional political justice." The current MP for the 9th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, caught red-handed, denounced a "cabal" on the part of Mediapart and asserted that her comments "were taken out of context." Her comments, whatever their context, speak for themselves and once again shed light on the ideology that reigns within the RN .
