Villeneuve-Saint-Georges: the car of a deputy destroyed by an arson attack

27 December 2021

Nothing is going right in the municipal life of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. A new elected official finds himself in turmoil. This time, the victim is the seventh deputy mayor, Naoual El Ouahta (SE), in charge of the Family, Social Cohesion, Women’s Rights and Family Life.

The evil spirits struck on Christmas Eve. On 24 December, at around 9.30pm, her car parked outside her home in a quiet street in Villeneuve was set on fire. Naoual El Ouahta was out. Her 18-year-old son was alone inside when he and some neighbours discovered the vehicle in flames. They immediately alerted the fire brigade, who managed to put out the fire before it spread.

Matches were found on the ground near the vehicle, according to the deputy. She filed a complaint against X for criminal motives this Monday morning. Specialised police officers from the central laboratory of the police prefecture went to the scene.

“This criminal act is linked to my mandate,” said Naoual El Ouahta. “I belong to the municipal majority but I am not part of any clan. I have always been very discreet and I have always communicated with everyone”.

This event takes place in a degraded political climate in this commune, which switched to the right at the last municipal elections. Almost a year ago, in February, Hubert Chérene, 2nd deputy, was dismissed from his post after organising a “galette des rois” party in the premises of the municipal police in the middle of a wave of Covid-19. In November, Abdel Chennani, 3rd deputy (SE), lost his delegations for attitudes and behaviour “incompatible with the function of deputy”, in the eyes of mayor Philippe Gaudin (DVD) and his right-hand man in the cabinet, Jean-Christophe Canter. The latter, in August, had been insulted by tags and threatened with death in anonymous calls.
