It will not happen. The prefect of Gironde "supported" Saturday the decision of the mayor of Bordeaux, Pierre Hurmic, to ban a show of the comedian Dieudonné, who was to play there on October 6. Support motivated by the "risk of disturbances to public order" created by this event, justified Etienne Guyot in a statement. Dieudonné's show was to be held in a secret location, unveiled a few hours before the performance only to people who had bought a ticket.
