During its holiday week, the team at Nice Première is pleased to offer you a compilation of its best articles. For this fourth day, you will find the articles that elicited the most responses over the past twelve months.
Leading the way with 886 reactions is the article on the Nice Mosque. In second place, still concerning religion, is an interview with JC Picard which garnered 162 responses. In third place, an unemployment agency that could do better “.fr” with 70 messages, in fourth place is the name of the possible future grand stadium of Nice which totals 62 messages, and in fifth place, Marc Concas and his Old Nice, which prompted 42 posts.
In short, there is a lot of discussion on NP, and we are not displeased because you have a say in every one of our publications, so do not hesitate for even a second to take it.
Happy holidays to the luckier ones and an excellent week to the rest.
Jean-Christophe Picard, departmental spokesperson for the Radical Left Party, expresses his displeasure at the hostility of the Nice City Hall towards the establishment of a Mosque in the fifth-largest city in France.
We are concerned following recent comments by André Chauvet, assistant to the territory, who relayed the opposition of some residents to creating a mosque in the city center. This statement, added to the outright hostility of the mayor of Nice, gives us every reason to fear that the Municipality might ultimately use its right of preemption to thwart this project…
After the flags were flown at half-mast and the exceptional leave granted to municipal employees for the Pope’s funeral, this would be another attack on secularism. It would be all the more inappropriate as, in a few days, we will celebrate the centennial of the law on the separation of churches and the state! Let us remember that, in our secular Republic, all religions have the right to be practiced with dignity. It is therefore unacceptable that the followers of the second religion of France continue to pray in cramped and unsuitable places (cellars, garages, etc.) when not in the street… All the more so since this “Islam of the cellars” is fertile ground for extremism.
That is why it is regrettable that the Municipality has, until now, never proposed any solutions for Muslims (as other major cities like Lyon or Strasbourg have done). Therefore, it is not justified in preventing them, today, from building, with their own funds, a decent place of worship.
