Overview
- Guazzini told AFP he has deactivated his X account and intends to file a defamation complaint following coverage of his posts.
- In February he shared a Reconquête activist’s false claim about supposed “no-dog zones” in England and commented, “Submission and cowardice, poor England,” with the original post using the slur “muz.”
- In November he shared a post tying Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s first Muslim mayor to the 9/11 attacks, writing, “Incredible! The horrible attacks quickly forgotten, little by little they take control.”
- He rejects accusations of racism, says he does not support Éric Zemmour’s party, cites long-standing animal-rights advocacy, and notes past support for SOS Racisme.
- Dati’s camp denies another colistier’s claimed Reconquête affiliation and has launched legal steps over a campaign clip and a site cataloging cases involving Dati, who is due in court in September and remains presumed innocent.
