Russian protest artist Piotr Pavlensky confirmed to AFP that he posted the sex video that tanked the Paris mayoral bid of Benjamin Griveaux, calling his action a fight against political “hypocrisy”. “I have launched the first ‘political porn’ platform,” he said after Griveaux dropped out of the mayoral race citing concern for his wife and children.Known for some startling stunts, which have included nailing his scrotum to Red Square in Moscow, Pavlensky insisted his problem was not with Griveaux’s morals or personal choices, but political deceit.Source: Pool/ABACA

Griveaux campaigned on “traditional family values” he did not follow himself, claimed Pavlensky, complaining that “hypocrisy has become the norm in France. It should not be considered normal.”
