The security service was properly sized on the evening of the Nice attack, July 14, as stated on Wednesday, July 27, by the director of the IGPN, Marie-France Moneger-Guyomarc’h, during the presentation of her agency’s report. The controversies “are the result of a misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the information,” she added.
Will the publication of the report from the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN) be enough to put an end to such inappropriate controversies? Apparently not.
For the former mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, who had previously accused Bernard Cazeneuve of “state lying” about the number of police officers present on the night of the tragedy, the IGPN report “cannot be sufficient,” he reacted on Wednesday.
As a protagonist in an onslaught against the government, he could risk a boomerang effect if the conclusion of the judicial investigation does not confirm his accusations.
In the meantime, some might occupy themselves by drafting a “manual to combat simplistic thinking.”
And yes, in always trying to draw a straight line, one sometimes risks veering off course.
