The 16-year-old young man was stabbed at the end of a ball in Crépol, in Drôme, on the night of November 18 to 19. In his tribute, the National Assembly will observe a minute of silence Tuesday afternoon, according to a parliamentary source.
It was the conference of presidents of the Assembly which took note of this decision on Tuesday morning. The minute of silence must be observed at 3 p.m., just before the traditional questions to the government. Nine young people, partly arrested in Toulouse where they had fled, were indicted on Saturday, notably for “organized gang murder”, a count punishable by life imprisonment. Six of them, including two minors, were incarcerated.
Political recovery
The investigation has not yet made it possible to fully elucidate the circumstances of the tragedy, which sparked a cascade of virulent reactions from the far right and the right on the theme of insecurity and immigration, some accusing the “scum” of “anti-white racism”. On Sunday, voices were raised on the left to denounce the “political recovery” and “the return of the ratonnades”.
At this stage, the investigation draws the scenario of violence occurring for a “futile motive” and not of a premeditated attack targeting the guests of the ball because of their belonging to an “alleged race, ethnicity, nation or specific religion”. according to the Valencia prosecutor
