Mathieu Kassovitz is also known for his commitments. he had recently co-signed a column in Liberation after the death of Nahel, 17, shot dead by a police officer following a refusal to comply. “Beyond the tragic death of Nahel, it is the functioning of the national police – the result of political choices – that we want to question. Nahel’s death is not an isolated case. It is – once again, once too often – the death of a young man from a working-class neighborhood of North African or sub-Saharan immigration. How many other deaths will it take before the public authorities stop the ostrich policy in the face of the multiplication of these tragedies? ”, questioned the text.
