Try to reassure after the shock. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne assured mayors on Sunday, after the car-ram attack on the house of the city councilor of L’Haÿ-les-Roses (Val-de-Marne), that the government will not “let ( it) pass no violence” and that “the greatest firmness” would be applied in the sanctions.
“We will be alongside the mayors”, declared the head of government who went to the city to support Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun (LR), with in particular the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin.
