“This proves that we still have to fight, that there are still people who, through their stupidity, do not understand this. But we will continue to fight. From Tuesday, November 23, we will reopen and we will continue to carry this fight “, reacted Victor Carron, the owner of the bar, annoyed by these acts. He also thinks of leaving the inscription a week or two to highlight the attacks suffered by the LGBT community.
The bar owner plans to file a complaint.

We can hope that it will allow the police to identify the perpetrators and to arrest them”, he reacted.
