  • The town hall of Nice took a page full of advertising of

    Nice-Matin

    to boast of being "the city classified the safest in France" according to a list of the participatory site Numbeo.

  • The mayor's opponents, who question the classification methodology, denounce the “indecency” of “bogus advertising”.

Its full page, Saturday, in the

Nice-Matin

newspaper

, did not go unnoticed.

Based on a ranking published on January 26 by the participatory site Numbeo, the town hall of the Riviera capital praised the security assets of “Nice, the safest city in France” and 194th in the world.

At the same time, it triggered the wrath of its opponents, denouncing the “indecency” of “bogus advertising”.

The advertising page was commented on Twitter in particular - Twitter screenshot @ injey06

It was Robert Injey who drew the first, Monday.

And the ex-communist municipal councilor, candidate on the Viva list!

in the last municipal elections, did not go with a dead hand: “The communicating frenzy of the mayor of Nice goes beyond the limits.

Indecency first of all with regard to the families affected by the attacks which have plagued our city since 2016 and the last, only a few months ago ”.

"It is very inappropriate to tell them that 'The city of Nice is the safest in France'," he attacked.

Especially since the municipality is based on a list of methodology which poses serious questions, according to him.

From 194th to 413rd place in a few days

It "is not based on any official figure, no survey by INSEE" and is based only "on the opinions of travelers using Numbeo", analyzes Robert Injey.

“There were actually only 57 contributions concerning Nice.

A figure therefore testifying to a reliability that is more than questionable, ”added the elected RN Philippe Vardon on Tuesday.

Unreliable and above all very fluctuating.

New comments recorded in recent days, and no doubt encouraged by the reactions of each other, have pushed Nice to the bottom of the same classification.

This Tuesday around 7 pm, with 159 contributions, the city was pointing… at the 413rd position in the same ranking with a safety index of 28.81 / 100 against 59.01 / 100 on January 26th.

Only 21 places ahead of Caracas, Venezuela, dead last.

"That would almost make you smile, if this classification had not fueled press articles and, above all, had not given rise to a big propaganda operation in the columns of the main local newspaper, at the expense of the people of Nice of course" , advance the leader of the national gathering.
