The family of Lola, the 12-year-old girl killed in Paris on October 14, asked on Friday October 21 that “urges to cease, and be withdrawn, all use of their child’s name and likeness for political purposes”, at events and online. Their attorney said so in a statement.
Lola’s parents want “to be able to honor the memory of their daughter with serenity, respect and the dignity that is due to her”, recalled the lawyer. The day before, a demonstration was held in Paris, in the presence in particular of Eric Zemmour, the ex-candidate of the far right in the presidential election, during which certain demonstrators carried signs on which appeared the face of the schoolgirl. The National Rally, which was initially to participate in this demonstration, finally organized a minute of silence at the same time in front of the National Assembly “in tribute to Lola and in support of her family and loved ones”.
The circumstances of Lola’s death and the profile of the suspect, of Algerian nationality and under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF), have aroused strong criticism on the right and the far right. A gathering for “support family and loved ones” of the victim is scheduled for Friday in Fouquereuil (Pas-de-Calais), the town where the father of the teenager is from. Lola’s funeral is scheduled for Monday in the early afternoon in Lillers, her mother’s hometown, in the same department.
