Nice: assault on two teachers at Clément-Roassal school
On November 2, 2026, in Nice, a parent is suspected of having detained the principal and a teacher at the Clément-Roassal school for about twenty minutes, possibly armed, before her arrest. She is subsequently described as a 36-year-old woman who assaulted the principal and a teacher, and Éric Ciotti visits the scene. The following day, the two victims return to the establishment, the Minister of Education is announced to visit later in the week, and the suspect is revealed to be under an Order to Leave French Territory (OQTF) and monitored for radicalization. Laurent Nuñez confirms her irregular administrative status, with an administrative ban from the territory since 2019, while debates focus on unexecuted OQTFs.
