Roderick Sinclair claims he has faced intimidation and mayor says he has had death threats in row with farmer in Montjoi
A retired British stockbroker claims he has been subjected to a sustained campaign of harassment and intimidation in a row over a bridle path running through his property in an idyllic corner of south-west“It has been hell.
The row hit national headlines last week when Eurgal revealed he was now under police protection after receiving death threats from a far-right group that supports Mercadal.The bucolic village of Montjoi, founded in the 13th century, population 167 at the time of the 2015 census, sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Eurgal, 75, said the local prefect had twice ordered the bridle path to be “declassified” and incorporated into Sinclair’s property, but Mercadal, who set up his business in Montjoi in 2017, had continued to use it and demanded Sinclair pay him to stop. Since the videos appeared last autumn, Eurgal said he had received death threats daily. “The immediate effect of the videos was catastrophic and has put my life in danger. I now have police protection for defending a British citizen in my village,” he said.
