Almost three quarters of an unbearable hour. Images of the massacres perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 in Israel will be broadcast to elected officials in the Nice metropolis this Thursday, we learned from the community, confirming information from Nice morning. It was its president, Mayor (Horizons) Christian Estrosi, who made this decision.
“I considered, like the President of the National Assembly and the President of the Senate [des projections similaires ont été organisées pour les parlementaires]that it was our duty to respond to the proposal from the Israeli Embassy to provide transparency and information,” he justified in a response sent to 20 minutes.
Phones and tablets prohibited
The closed-door screening is scheduled for the beginning of the afternoon, at the end of the metropolitan council scheduled for this Thursday, according to an email sent to elected officials by Christian Estrosi’s chief of staff. It specifies that “participants are subject to the commitment not to record the video and not to publish its content”.
As for deputies and senators, mobile phones, tablets and other recording devices will be banned from the room. And this “for reasons of both confidentiality and security, but above all out of the need to preserve the privacy and dignity of victims and murdered people”.
“No need to inflict on yourself” that
An initiative that is variously appreciated in the ranks of the opposition. For Juliette Chesnel-Le Roux (EELV), “it is not necessary to subject oneself to watching these terrorist massacres to become aware in one’s heart and soul of the horror of this day of October 7,” explains- does she 20 minutes.
In the columns of Nice morning, Philippe Vardon (Reconquête!) for his part defends the approach. “I have already seen many images, I dread the sight of these, of what concerns children, especially as a father. But I will attend this broadcast because I am not in the habit of refusing to see reality,” he declared.
