INTERVIEW
On Thursday, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced that the number of tickets for breach of the rules for wearing a mask reached "a flow of 700" per day. Saturday on Europe 1, the mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi said that among these 700 fines, "12 to 13%" were given by the police of his city. "I think that we must defeat the Covid and not learn to live with it", he declared, and for that "we must create the conditions to protect. In Nice, we have never been in retreat, with the highest obligations ".

"We do not compromise on anything"
Christian Estrosi took the opportunity to recall that he was "the first to take an order requiring the wearing of a mask several weeks ago". Order which, according to him, led to numerous verbalizations. "The Prime Minister announced that nearly 700 PV for non-compliance with wearing a mask were distributed per day. In Nice, we alone represent with the municipal police nearly 12 to 13% of these 700 PV", a- he certified on Europe 1. "This is to tell you that we do not compromise on anything!"

Asked about the significance of these results and a possible indiscipline of the inhabitants of Nice, Christian Estrosi rejected the hypothesis. "A large part of those who were sanctioned were often external visitors", and not from Nice, he said.
