"Today's watchword is appeasement," warns Issa, in the preamble to the white march in memory of the Boubacar and Fadjigui brothers, two young people killed after a police officer shot him on the Pont- Nine, the evening of April 24, in Paris.
On the spot, hundreds of people from the Amandiers district (XXth arrondissement, Paris) answered the call, most dressed in white and with a t-shirt on which we can read "We will not forget".
The procession started in the calm place Henri Matisse before taking the road to rue de l'Orillon, where the two men were born and grew up.
On the night of April 24 to 25, when Emmanuel Macron was celebrating his re-election on the Champ de Mars a few kilometers away, a 24-year-old police officer from the City Security Company opened fire, using his assault rifle, on a car, which would have tried to evade control on the Pont-Neuf, according to the police.
A dozen bullets were fired and the driver and his front passenger died instantly.
The 42-year-old rear passenger was injured.
Since then, the police officer has been indicted for "intentional homicide" and placed under judicial supervision, triggering the anger of several police unions, who demonstrated on Monday to demand a special "presumption of self-defense" from the police.
In the procession, Me Berenice Hahn of Bykhovetz, whose law firm advises the family of the two deceased, affirms that the indictment "is perfectly logical and justified, contrary to what has been said in recent days".
Deputy Éric Coquerel (LFI) as well as the municipal councilor of the 20th arrondissement Danielle Simonnet (LFI) were also present.
Just like several relatives of victims killed by police fire in the past.
