What had to happen happened… Following the riots for two days in Nanterre and in the Parisian suburbs, the police headquarters decided to cancel Mylène Farmer’s concert scheduled at the Stade de France on Friday June 30. Its performance on Saturday July 1 is also canceled.
Since this Thursday, June 29, the question remained. Since Tuesday, riots have rocked the country after Nahel, a 17-year-old teenager, lost his life after being shot by the police for refusing to comply. A blunder for some, self-defense for others… Whether we take one side or the other, the fact is that Nanterre and its surroundings have been on fire for several days, as well as other French cities. . So much so that the police are overwhelmed by the violence and determination of some angry young people, demanding “justice for Nahel”. Justice also demanded by Kylian Mbappé, Rayane Bensetti, or even Nabilla.
Many riots all over the country
A justice which passes, for some, by the breakage and the degradation. In fact, whether in Nanterre or in other cities in France, trams and buses were set on fire, as were cars belonging to citizens who had nothing to do with the tragedy. The deterioration of public transport in the Île-de-France region and its surroundings prompted Valérie Pécresse, president of the region, to suspend their activity from 9 p.m. this Thursday, June 29.
A decision taken after a sad observation. On the night of June 28 to 29, eleven buses were set on fire, a T6 train was completely destroyed and another T10 was attacked the day before. “There is no stupider gesture than burning public services”denounced the one who is also president of Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), saluting in passing the courage of the bus and tram drivers “taken apart”.

This goes through the Mylène Farmer concert scheduled for Friday June 30 at the Stade de France. The show is canceled as well as the second, scheduled for the next day, Saturday July 1, as announced by the prefecture of Seine-Saint-Denis.
