French politician Eric Ciotti filed a legal complaint against rapper Boro700 over a song containing threats and terrorism references targeting him and Christian Estrosi. The track "M*R*H" has over 130,000 Spotify plays. Lyrics reference the 2015 Bataclan attack, Mohamed Merah, Salah Abdeslam, and Hitler. Ciotti called the content an affront to victims and a climate of intimidation; Estrosi wrote to the interior minister denouncing a "purveyor of hate." The rapper, who appears masked online, released the track titled "M*R*H"; both politicians argue free speech cannot justify terrorism glorification or threats to public officials.
