David Lisnard, mayor of Cannes and 2027 presidential candidate, has sparked widespread anger following his dismissive comments regarding the massacre of Algerians in Paris on October 17, 1961. During a television appearance, when asked about the event by a student, he responded with indifference, claiming he did not care because he had not been born yet. This remark has triggered fierce criticism across the French political landscape. Figures such as Olivier Faure and Karim Zéribi accused him of double standards, noting that he actively commemorates the Holocaust despite using the same 'not born yet' excuse. There are growing calls for his removal as president of the Association of Mayors of France, with critics labeling his stance as racist and an insult to the victims' memory. Even television host Pascal Praud denounced the comments, recalling the extreme police brutality of the 1961 events and emphasizing the necessity of remembering such a dark chapter in French history.
