Guest of Europe 1, Sunday, Jean-Claude Hubler, president of the Life for Nice association, expressed his anger after the attack on Thursday, which left three dead in the Notre-Dame Basilica.

He also acted as the spokesperson for the victims, and more broadly for the inhabitants of Nice, traumatized by this new attack, four years after the car-ram attack which left 86 dead on the Promenade des Anglais. 

INTERVIEW

"A feeling of nervousness, of disgust. People don't know what to do, they are disgusted."

Jean-Claude Hubler, president of the Life for Nice association, was invited to the microphone of Europe 1, Saturday morning.

This man, engaged since Nice was the victim of an attack four years ago, is once again in shock after the attack on Thursday, which left three dead in the Notre-Dame Basilica.

"Not all people have even recovered from July 14," he breathes.

In 2016, a crazy truck had indeed hit the crowd, leaving 86 dead and 400 injured.

"We may have to clean up the S files. We know that this terrorist had just arrived in France, but we must move forward, it is not normal that we release terrorists like that in the wild" .

The people who were around the basilica at the time of the attack, including the general secretary of the Life for Nice association, have indeed expressed their state of shock.

"Some families lose a loved one, others are physically injured. The victims find it difficult to come back up."

Strengthen measures

Jean-Claude Hubler therefore wants the government to tighten the screws, monitor and treat more severely the S files. The young man who committed the attack on Thursday, October 29 was, however, neither registered nor known to the police, because he had just arrived in France after passing through Italy and the island of Lampedusa, making its surveillance by the anti-terrorism authorities more complicated.

There remains the sanction.

Faced with these acts, is there a need for exceptional justice, a French "Guantanamo" as suggested by deputy Eric Ciotti?

"Exactly, it's been a while since I said that we should not put them in the same place as common prisoners. Not all governments have taken the necessary measures," he said.

"We are starting to get tired of putting down flowers and candles."
