Death of Nahel in Nanterre: delicate political management

Present on the set of 8 Hours, Friday, June 30, the journalist Guillaume Daret indicates that Emmanuel Macron “will convene at 1 p.m. in Paris a new crisis unit“, the second in two days.”For the moment, the government refuses to declare a state of emergency. We’ll see if the events of the night change the game“, adds the journalist. The head of state must normally go to Germany for a visite three days, early next week. One of his advisers said on Friday morning that this visit “is not in question at the moment“.

An echo of the 2005 riots

Current events echo the riots of 2005. A senior Interior Ministry official said: “We have exceeded the level of violence of 2005.“Guillaume Daret discussed these events with a former adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy. The common point he sees, “it is that the problem comes from a policeman, and that the solution comes from the police because there will be no return to calm without a return to public order“. This adviser notes “a competition that takes place on social networks from hour to hour“, which was not the case at the time.
