Safety is at the heart of concerns after the death of 7-year-old Kamilya, knocked down by a motorbike, and the death of a police officer after refusing to comply. Guest on 11/13 info, Monday September 2, police officer Abdoulaye Kanté returns to the issue.
The safety of French men and women will certainly be at the heart of the new government’s concerns. While Emmanuel Macron has yet to appoint a Prime Minister, on Monday, September 2, a tribute will be paid to gendarme Éric Comyn, killed in Mougins (Alpes-Maritimes) after refusing to comply.
23,700 cases of refusal to comply were recorded in 2023, recalls police officer Abdoulaye Kanté, “including 5,000 who are followed by serious cases”. “There is a form of scourge, a notion of habit of certain people who do not have this obligation to respect authority, particularly on the road”he laments.
Still in the Alpes-Maritimes, a 7-year-old girl was knocked down by a 19-year-old motorcyclist, who was not a repeat offender, in Vallauris. Kamilya’s father announced on Sunday that his daughter had succumbed to her injuries. “Before repression, there must be a prevention focus”says Abdoulaye Kanté, especially among young people.
