The shock is immense in the North. In Vieux-Condé, in the North, a 72-year-old pensioner was beaten up last week. His crime: asking young people to make less noise. Hospitalized in critical condition, the septuagenarian finally succumbed to his injuries.
Invited this Wednesday at the microphone of Alexandre Le Mer, the secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) returned to this aggression of extreme violence. “This man who was beaten to death, savagely beaten, and who died as a result of this beating, it happened in my constituency (…). And I want to say here all my emotion and my anger “, he confides at the microphone of Europe 1. “This is what the inhabitants of the town feel”, he continues at the microphone of Europe 1.
A man invests in the life of his city
“It’s an act of barbarism,” adds the communist. The septuagenarian, former florist of the city, was particularly appreciated within the commune. “A gentleman who helped everyone”, confides a neighbor to Europe 1, and invests in the associative life of the small town.
Three young suspects, aged 14, 17 and 18, were arrested last Thursday. “I call on justice to be extremely harsh on the perpetrators of this barbaric act.” Because today, “I am thinking of his wife, his children and grandchildren and justice must really be extremely severe and that it should be known because we cannot let such horror pass”, concludes Fabien Roussel at the microphone of Europe 1.
