• On August 29, three minors violently attacked Angèle, 89, in front of her residence.

  • Ten days later, the father of one of the attackers had his location withdrawn from the market by the LR mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, as a "conservation".

  • The man filed an appeal that the administrative court of Nice has just rejected on Monday.

He denounced a “serious and manifestly illegal attack on his freedom of enterprise”.

The administrative court of Nice rejected on Monday the appeal of a merchant from Cannes deprived by the town hall of Cannes of his location in one of the markets of the city after the aggression of Angèle, an old lady of 89 years, committed by her 14 year old son and another minor.

The court indicated that it was not a question of a "serious and manifestly illegal attack on a fundamental freedom", nor of a situation of "extreme urgency", the father of the family having waited more than two months to go to the judge.

His lawyer indicates to

20 Minutes

that a procedure on the merits, without condition of urgency, is following its course.

“In France, collective punishment has not been applied for more than a century.

It is a measure from another time and another era, denounced Me Sefen Guez Guez.

“Persons causing disturbances to public order”

The man had had his location at the market withdrawn by the LR mayor of Cannes, David Lisnard, on September 9 as a "conservation", ten days after the charges against the teenager who had aroused a wave of indignant reactions.

"We simply cannot give the right to occupy the public domain to people who cause disturbances to public order", justified the municipality during the weekend.

The Cannes city councilor, also president of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), had also demanded that the aid granted to families be suspended and that the latter also be "expelled from the social housing from which they benefit".

If the CAF did not respond to the first request, for the second, on the other hand, "the steps will be taken", indicated the community at

20 Minutes

.

During a hearing before the juvenile judge in the Grasse court on November 30, the merchant's son and another minor were found guilty of the assault followed by the theft of the victim's handbag.

A third, who was filming the scene, was released, but the prosecution appealed this decision.

For the first two, kept in a closed educational center, the criminal sanction will be pronounced on June 28, 2023.
