Rejection of passengers without French masks Bus driver assault and brain death on July 8 4:47

In France, it is obligatory to wear a mask on public transportation as a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, but the driver who refused the passenger who tried to get on the bus without wearing a mask was assaulted and became brain dead. .. My colleague's drivers have been out of business for two days because they are not safe.

On the 5th in Bayonne, southwestern France, bus driver Philippe Monguillo (59) refused passengers who tried to get on without a mask, and the other four without a mask they were already on. I was assaulted when I asked other passengers to get off.

Monguiyo was taken to the hospital, but he is in a state of brain death.

Local prosecutors detained five people, including a man who tried to get on the bus without wearing a mask, and are investigating the situation at the time in detail.

Following the incident, Monguiyo's colleagues stopped working in protest of the case as ``safety is not ensured'', and bus operation has been significantly disturbed locally for two days only seven days after the incident ..

In France, public transport has been obliged to wear a mask since May to prevent infections, and the violator will be fined 135 euros and about 16,000 yen in Japanese yen. However, since the frequency of crackdowns is not so high, there are people who get on without a mask.

A demonstration march against violence against the driver is being planned locally on the 8th, and the reaction to cruel acts is spreading.
