France Riots Today : France Riots Latest Update Fund Collection Campaign For French Policeman Who Killed Teen
[ad_1]
Centrist and left-wing leaders have condemned Messiah’s fund campaign. Eric Bothorel of French President Emmanuel Macron’s party wrote on Twitter, ‘Jean Messiah is fanning the spark. This will lead to riots. Funding millions of Euros for the policeman who killed Nahel is indecent and condemnable. Socialist Party chief Olivier Faure has urged GoFundMe to end the fund collection, accusing the platform of ‘giving place to shame’.
Unrest seems to be decreasing
The unrest in France appeared to subside after six days on Monday. According to the Home Ministry, 157 people were arrested overnight. Earlier during the violence on June 30, 3880 people were arrested overnight. Nahel, 17, was killed in police firing in the suburb of Nanterre. Nahel was of Algerian origin. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 45,000 police officers had been deployed to deal with outcry over discrimination against people belonging to former French colonies and living in low-income areas.
Nahel’s grandmother appealed for peace
In France, 297 vehicles and 34 buildings were torched overnight. Earlier, President Emmanuel Macron held a special security review meeting on Sunday night. He plans to hold a meeting with mayors of 220 cities affected by the protests on Tuesday. An officer involved in the meeting gave this information on condition of anonymity. On the other hand, Nahel’s maternal grandmother Nadia said in a telephone interview to France’s ‘BFM TV’, ‘Don’t vandalize windows, buses…schools. We want to calm the situation.
