Nassira El Moaddem

Nassira El Moaddem is a journalist and author who recently published an investigative book titled "Main basse sur la ville." The book details alleged questionable practices by Thierry Meignen during his tenure as mayor of Le Blanc-Mesnil and documents the town's shift towards the far-right. El Moaddem is currently newsworthy because Senator Thierry Meignen, the subject of her investigation, reportedly made death threats against her, stating "Elle va mourir" (She will die). El Moaddem has filed a complaint against Meignen following these threats and insults. The situation has garnered attention due to the severity of the threats and the perceived lack of a strong response from government authorities, which El Moaddem has publicly criticized. The case highlights concerns about the safety of journalists and the potential chilling effect of threats on investigative reporting.
