A French bus driver, who was badly beaten by passengers, died after being asked to put masks in line with measures to combat the newly created Corona virus, which drew condemnation from the country's political leaders for the actions of the aggressors.

Philippe Mongiu, 59, daughter of Marie, said that he was a brain dead after being assaulted in Bayonne (southwest) last weekend and died in hospital on Friday after his family decided to stop the resuscitators. ".

Two men were charged with attempted murder in this case. Prosecutor Jerome Bourier has said that he will request an amendment of the charges after the death of Mongio. The prosecutor's office said that three other people were also accused of being linked to the attack, two of them because of failing to help a person in danger and the third to try to hide a suspect.

French Prime Minister Jean Castles greeted Mongejo and wrote on Twitter: "The Republic recognizes him as an exemplary citizen and will not forget him. The law will punish the perpetrators of this sordid crime."

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan, who was supposed to meet some bus drivers in Bayonne on Saturday to discuss the security situation, described the incident as "an abominable act" and added that "the coward responsible for this crime must not go unpunished."

The Mongiu family organized a silent march on Wednesday, which started at the bus station where the attack occurred.

One of the drivers, Kiolis, said his colleagues had refused to work after the attack, but that they would resume work on Monday under strict security arrangements. This will include the deployment of security personnel on buses operating in Bayonne and the surrounding area.
