Nanterre Mayor Patrick Jarry has been speaking outside the prime minister’s Matignon office in Paris where he attended a meeting with Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and cabinet ministers.
He said he attended the meeting to convey the “emotion and anger” felt by the residents of his town, which he said was shared by the town’s population “in all its diversity”.
We must continue to support Nahel’s family and his mother, who will attend her son’s funeral on Saturday, he added.
He had no plan to impose a curfew at the moment, he added, saying de-escalating violence was the priority.
“We must continue to be present, to be alongside each other and to talk to each other,” he added.
