So far Emmanuel Macron has found the right words. But given the sense of anger, words may not be enough
of a torched car lies upside down on the pavement, its tyres burned to ashes. Opposite, a warm breeze flows through the shattered glass sides of a bus shelter. The desolation on the streets of the Pablo Picasso housing project in Nanterre, on the outskirts of Paris, follows a second night of rioting after a policeman shot dead a 17-year-old boy who lived on this estate.
By the evening of the day of Nahel’s shooting, rioting broke out in Nanterre. It swiftly spread to other, or housing estates, that ring most cities in France, including Toulouse in the south-west and Lyon in the south-east. Cars and rubbish bins were set ablaze, as well as institutions that represent the state or public authority, such as town halls, buses and police stations. Fireworks were hurled at riot police. On the second night, at least 150 people were arrested.
“There’s a lot of anger here,” says Khadija, who was one of the tens of thousands who turned out on June 29th in Nanterre for a march in memory of Nahel. “Nothing”, she says, “justifies his killing.” Those present at the march expressed—at least initially—a calm but clear anger at the way they feel that the police treat them. “Officers need to be trained so that, when there are police checks, they don’t put the life of an under-aged boy in danger,” says Souleymane. Others are blunter.
