They took the opinion for the task and won. There will be a minute of silence this Tuesday in the National Assembly, in memory of Aboubakar Cissé, killed dozens of stabbed wounds on Friday morning in the Mosque del Grand-Combe (Gard) by Olivier Hadzovic, who went to the Italian authorities on Sunday evening.
I decided that a minute of silence was observed in homage to Aboubakar Cissé, whose assassination dissolved in a mosque in the garden turned the country. No consent appeared this morning at the Conference of Presidents. I have been mistaken since then with some group presidents. … …

“In the face of the legitimate emotion and taking into account the vile exploitation made by his death, I wanted us to greet his memory previously. Sobrially and with dignity”, explains the president of the assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet on X.
The leftist deputies had collected one of the cousins of the young Maliano, wildly assassinated in the assembly and representatives of the Soninké de France community.
“Step by step and day after day, we will defend our duty to live together,” said François Bayrou in front of the hemicycle. “We will not let the destructive, those who want to dissolve the world we live in,” said the Prime Minister. “We have a duty to build something that unites us, that makes us grow and that makes us understand, different like us,” he added.
The meeting turned to the press conference after, according to the deputy Lfi Aurélie, the president of the assembly refused a minute of silence during the conference of the presidents on the basis of the fact that “there is no minute of silence for individual cases”.
“This minute of silence must take place”, Marine Tondelier, the national secretary of Eelv, insisted, believing that the event that took place on Sunday evening of La République in Paris should have gathered, like the steps against antimismism, all the parts represented in the assembly. “He was hitting on Sunday evening to see that the entire political community was not there. We would like, when there is on the question of Islamophobia, when people are afraid, on the national territory, that everyone is able to meet.”
Informed during their press conference that Yaël Braun-Pivet had accepted the principle of the minute of silence, Amane Konaté-Boune, vice-president of the International Confederation of Soninké associations, said that this decision was logical. “We are not here to thank you, this minute of silence is normal that it takes place,” he defended, on behalf of all the representatives of the ethnic group installed in France.
“Why don’t equality belong to everyone?” Why when a black man has to die in a mosque, do we have to go to claim this justice? (…) Every life matters? He asked for the anti -racist activist Traoré. “If we continue, there will be other Aboubakar”, he warned, shortly after the rebel Aly Dioouara who denounced “a certain speech, a uninhibited speech of racism at the highest level of the state”, which encourages a certain number of people to act “.
The elected official underlined in particular “the indecency, the absence of empathy of the interior minister” Bruno Retailleau, who waited on Sunday afternoon to go to the Gard, about fifteen kilometers from the Grand-Commette, to testify his solidarity with the Muslim community.
