“We must stop this spiral of violence“, called Thursday, June 29 on franceinfo the mayor of Nanterre Patrick Jarry, the day after a second night of urban violence in his city and after new tensions on the sidelines of the white march organized for Nahel this Thursday afternoon in the city. “I was satisfied to see that thousands of people came to pay homage to Nahel and to express a desire for justice for Nahel“, first greeted the chosen one, before saying to himself “sad that the city was seriously degraded by some of the people who had come to us and whom we were happy to welcome“.

“We must continue to mobilize to try to stop this spiral of violence“, he added, because according to him, “these acts of violence are turning against us, against our neighborhoods, against our cities. Violence has never made anything happen, neither yesterday, nor today, nor tomorrow“.
Patrick Jarry then welcomed the indictment and the placement in pre-trial detention of the policeman suspected of having killed Nahel: “The first steps towards justice are satisfactory and seem to us to be heading in the right direction. I believe that it is necessary, for some and for the others, to rely on these first steps. We will not let go of the justice that is due to Nahel. Nanterre will remain mobilized with this family and with his friends“.
