Mayor of Strasbourg Jeanne Barseghian addresses participants as they take part in a nationwide action in Strasbourg, eastern France on July 3, 2023. AFPPIX: Mayors across France held rallies Monday calling for an end to violent clashes that erupted after a teen was shot dead by police last week, as signs emerged that the unrest was beginning to ease.
“Democracy itself has been attacked... this can’t continue and it won’t,“ said Vincent Jeanbrun, the conservative mayor of L’Hay-les-Roses, whose home was attacked early Sunday. A total of 157 people had been arrested overnight Sunday to Monday -- a small fraction of the number held the night before. Three police officers were also hurt.
But, in a move which could spark fresh anger, a collection for the family of the policeman who fired the fatal shot -- now charged with voluntary manslaughter -- topped one million euros . Some also urged that lessons need to be learned from the unrest -- the worst in France since the death of two youths fleeing police in 2005 sparked three weeks of rioting.
