A “intolerable act”. A septuagenarian and her granddaughter were victims of an attack on Monday June 19 “of rare violence” in Bordeaux, reported the prefect of New Aquitaine and Gironde on Twitteradding that a suspect has been taken into custody.
The facts happened “at the end of the afternoon”, “course of Martinique”at the home of the 73-year-old person accompanied by his “little girl”a minor child “under 15”, said the prefect. The septuagenarian was hospitalized but “his vital prognosis is not engaged”.
Far-right denunciations
“The video exploitation by the police and the statements of a witness allowed a very rapid arrest”, detailed the prefect. In a video broadcast Monday evening on the Twitter account of the former mayor of Bordeaux Nicolas Florian and that AFP could not verify, a man rushes through the door of a building in broad daylight then pulls an elderly woman and a child out of it by force, throwing them violently on the ground on the sidewalk, before leaving the scene.
Several far-right officials reacted quickly to this video. “Another attack in #Bordeaux! Mr. @GDarmanin, when are you going to open your eyes to the savagery that plagues our society?”declared on the same social network the deputy Rassemblement national de Gironde, Edwige Diaz.
