(Editor’s note) The “reasonable party is an oxymoron,” and we didn’t need a counter-example like Saturday night’s concert by The Avener to know that.
The lockdown sharpened the need for contact, so those present didn’t hold back, with kisses, hugs, and all the usual fanfare. When you add a few beers and joints… it doesn’t take long to see the effect.
It was only at the Town Hall that they thought they had gathered seminarists respectful of safety measures!
Organizing a concert by The Avener that could only turn into a giant nightclub on Quai des Etats-Unis is truly astonishing and irresponsible, especially on the part of the mayor who lectured the entire world during the Covid crisis against a backdrop of self-promotion. Did the city of Nice bleach the beaches only to end up with this?
The justifications put forward (respecting the audience limit of 5,000 people) by Christian Estrosi are pathetic, as if a DJ set was an event like any other, just when the reopening of nightclubs is consistently refused.
Finally, the way he tries once again to shift his responsibilities onto the State when he fails to meet his security obligations is not up to the standards of his position and his numerous declarations about the protection of the inhabitants of Nice.
