France: Fireworks light up Nice for first time since 2016 deadly attack
2018-06-10 06:24
Fireworks lit the skies of the French city of Nice on Saturday, in the first celebration held at the city's port since the July 2016 terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 86 people.
Security was heavy as locals flocked the port to mark the first firework celebration. Locals said that the presence of heavy police forces and security checks was reassuring, but that there was no point in thinking about the attack too much.
«It reassures me more or less, but if someone wants to come back and do things he does what he wants, then I think we break our head a little too much since what happened, we pay too much attention to that,» Axel said.
For Jose Vazquez, a local engineer, the security didn't affect him «I don't care I would have come anyway, even if there wasn't any of that I would have come. I hope they wont do this every time.»
On 14 July 2016 attack a truck plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day, killing 86 people.

2018-06-10 18:53
Parliamentary chairperson of Die Linke (the Left Party) Sahra Wagenknecht held a speech on the last day of the party's convention in Leipzig on Sunday.
Wagenknecht condemned what she viewed as «hypocrisy» in German government's behaviour towards Russia. She argued that «the hypocrisy in the interaction with Russia is unprecedented. At the beginning of this year, four diplomats were expelled because there was an attempted murder with poison in Great Britain, which as we know today, all big secret services in the world have at their disposal, including the BND [German Secret Service].»
The Die Linke chairperson went on to say that «when the US ambassador [to Germany] acts like a new colonial ruler and publicly announces that he wants to bring the right wing [parties] to power in Europe, then he is invited by Mr [German Foreign Minister] Maas for a coffee, instead of presenting him a return ticket to Washington [D.C.].»
Wagenknecht also called the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) a «product of Merkel» rather than a counter programme. She also called on her fellow party members to «end these absurd debates [within the party] and rather fight together so that Gauland's AfD becomes a bird's poop in German history,» in reference to AfD leader Alexander Gualand's earlier comments that the Nazi era was a bird's poop [brief stain] in German history.
The Die Linke party day took place in Leipzig from Friday to Sunday.
