Following the racist attack in Trappes and La Verrière on October 23rd, the town hall of Briis-sous-Forges is organizing a republican rally this Sunday, November 1st, at 11:45 AM in front of the town hall.

A man, Pengo Bossio Wangi, was killed and five people, including a child, were seriously injured, targeted solely because of their skin color. This act is deemed intolerable by the municipality.
Faced with this violence, racism, and hatred, the municipality calls on residents to gather to show their solidarity with the victims, their families, and their loved ones. The aim is to affirm together that racism will never have a place in the Republic.
The mayor, Emmanuel Dassa, will speak at this gathering.
