“It is important that justice be done and justice is neither revenge nor vindictiveness,” declared the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet.
A tribute in the hemicycle. The National Assembly observed a minute of silence on Tuesday, November 28, in tribute to young Thomas, stabbed at the end of a ball in Crépol in the Drôme. “It is important that justice be done and justice is neither revenge nor vindictiveness,” declared the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, in introduction to the session of questions to the government.
In recent months, the Assembly has notably observed minutes of silence in tribute to the victims of Hamas attacks, to Dominique Bernard, a teacher killed in Arras by an S-file, to the victims of a knife attack in Annecy by a Syrian refugee, or even to young Nahel, killed in Nanterre by a police officer.
The government tried on Monday to ease tensions aroused by the death of this 16-year-old high school student, and while the ultra-right organized violent rallies this weekend in Romans-sur-Isère, the neighboring town of Crépol.
