“Funeral eulogy to Saint-Martin-Vésubie”, begins Gérald Darmanin’s tweet, published this Sunday.
The Minister of the Interior went to this commune in the Alpes-Maritimes, strongly affected by storm Alex in 2020, for a ceremony in tribute to the firefighter Loïc Millo, who disappeared with his colleague Bruno Kohlhuber at the time of the disaster.
Gérald Darmanin presented Corporal Millo, 31, with the insignia of Knight of the Legion of Honor whose body was never found.

As Nice-Matin
recalls
, on October 2, 2020, the two firefighters were going on a mission to Roquebillière when the roadway collapsed as their vehicle passed, which was then swept away by the waves.
Only Commander Kohlhuber's body was found.
In total, these October floods which ravaged the Vésubie, Roya and Tinée valleys left ten dead and eight missing.
