The campaign office of Nordine Raymond, representing La France insoumise (LFI) in the forthcoming municipal elections in Bordeaux, was vandalized over the weekend. The incident included broken windows and the defacement of walls with derogatory tags, specifically one stating 'FUCK ANTIFA'. This act of vandalism occurred against the backdrop of social unrest following the death of a young man named Quentin in Lyon.

In addition to the vandalism of Raymond's office, several walls across various neighborhoods in Bordeaux were found to display inflammatory messages and calls for violence, including on the walls of Camille Jullian high school. Raymond publicly expressed his full support for the school in light of these aggressive acts. By Monday, many of the hateful messages at the high school had been removed, but the incident highlights a troubling trend of political and social discord in the area.

The significance of this act extends beyond simple vandalism; it reflects a growing tension in French society, particularly surrounding political affiliations and responses to recent incidents of violence. As the local elections approach, such acts could influence the political climate and voter sentiment, potentially affecting the landscape for parties like LFI and their candidates in the region.
