LE FIGARO.
- Nice was hit once again by an Islamist attack on Thursday in the basilica of Notre-Dame.
What state of mind are you in?
Christian ESTROSI.
- We are in shock, in emotion and anger.
I have strong shoulders but the scars of all the attacks add up.
The Notre-Dame basilica is a very strong symbol for the people of Nice: it is a small copy of Notre-Dame de Paris built after Nice was joined to France.
And on the eve of the All Saints' Day celebrations, it is a very strong symbol for the people of Nice, who have chosen France, and Christians from all countries.
I have received messages of support from all over the world, of all faiths, from the Pope.
Emmanuel Macron's visit was important.
We needed that reassurance.

According to the Minister of the Interior, he was difficult to identify on the radar screens because he did not seek asylum.
