The first accusations come from the right side. Following the attack of Nice, the opposition criticized the executive for not having taken the necessary measures against terrorism since the attacks of 2015. “Everything that should have been done last eighteen months have the has not been, “said three days after the attack the former head of state Nicolas Sarkozy. The same evening, the Prime Minister Manuel Valls and Bernard Cazeneuve unsheathe a long statement in response to accusations made by the right and list all the measures taken by the Executive in recent months. To the President of the National Front who requested his resignation, Bernard Cazeneuve replies: “It is precisely because she asks me I will not do it and I will do especially as Marine Le Pen has voted no anti-terrorism law “

Act II. the controversy surrounding the safety device swells

Meanwhile, questions about the safety device in place on the Promenade des Anglais the drama of the night arise in the political debate. The first to raise is none other than Christian Estrosi, Deputy Mayor of Republicans Nice. 36 hours after the attack, the elected evoked a “state lie” about the strength of the national police force present on the evening of drama. He said the national police were in short supply and the figures provided by the Interior Ministry are false. He reiterated his accusations a few days later in Nice Matin .

In the camp of the right, Senate President Gerard Larcher calls “independent investigation” and Christian Estrosi investigation by the General Inspectorate of the administration. To calm the storm, the interior minister finally enter the police of the police (IGPN) in which he asks an administrative investigation of the safety device. “At no time has there been a lie of the authorities”, asserts his side the prefect of the region while President François Hollande promised “truth and transparency” on the famous device and recalled that Bernard Cazeneuve “has his confidence “.

Except that the request evil happening locally. Friday, the lawyer for the city of Nice said the municipality would refuse to meet this demand. During that time, the media describe an interior minister “in turmoil,” “The Perfect Storm” and “on the spot”.
