On the occasion of his visit to Nice yesterday afternoon, the Minister of the Interior Gerard Darmanin, at the invitation of Christian Estrosi, visited the CUM where a session of the Metropolitan Council was in progress.
The councilors were surprised to see the delegation arrive and interrupted their work to listen to the speeches by Christian Estrosi—very pleased with the buzz—and the Minister, who announced another visit this Saturday, this time with Prime Minister Jean Castex and Justice Minister Eric Dupont-Moretti.
The Minister of the Interior did not make any announcements but stated that they would be made by Prime Minister Jean Castex.
Given the government’s attention to the recent episodes of violence in the sensitive areas of the city—before the Moulins shooting, there had been one at the Liserons—should we assume that a policy of restoring public order will be the new chosen option?
Will there be an enhancement of certain competencies of the municipal police, as has long been demanded by the mayor of Nice, who claims that she could manage the problems better—relying on proximity—than the State, if she had the means?
In two days, on Saturday, we will know more.
