Overview
- Prosecutor Delphine Moncuit opened a case targeting ADMP president Jacques Boncompain after he told reporters Pétain was “the first resistant of France.”
- The inquiry also concerns the priest, Gautier Luquin, for alleged provocation by a minister of religion and for holding a political meeting in a place of worship.
- Prefect Xavier Delarue reported the remarks to the justice system and indicated the procedure could lead to a bid to dissolve the ADMP, a decision for the Interior Ministry.
- The mass proceeded after the Nancy administrative court overturned Mayor Samuel Hazard’s ban, with about twenty attendees and roughly a hundred protesters under police watch.
- AFP-cited footage captured additional claims by Boncompain, and authorities note such offenses can carry up to one year in prison and a €45,000 fine.
