The death of Aymen, the 14-year-old schoolboy hit and killed by a crazy car on Wednesday evening after the end of the France-Morocco World Cup match on the Avenue de Barcelona in the Mosson-la Paillade housing estate in Montpellier has aroused passions and outbursts of violence, while his family has called for calm.
As Métropolitain revealed this Friday, the community of sedentary gypsies, the target of very violent punitive expeditions on Thursday evening, is due to meet Aymen's family this evening, after Fernand Maraval, known as Yaka, has been received by the imams of Mosson and Petit Bard and after a meeting at the Hérault prefecture which took place at the beginning of the afternoon. Yaka Maraval and the gypsy victims who had their flats ransacked and set on fire, as well as two lorries and a car, "do not understand why no police protection measures were put in place on Thursday evening" to prevent 250 to 300 young people armed with Kalashnikovs and iron bars from entering the Jupiter residence to commit acts of violence, having terrorised the parents and children.
