On July 6th, during a press conference attended by all local media and alongside Jacques Peyrat, the identitarians were the first to denounce the planned purchase of the restaurant La Petite Biche on Saëtone Square by Islamic networks close to the Muslim Brotherhood.
We then explicitly called for the intervention of the municipality to preempt these 250 m² premises, as their transformation into a mosque would have been another blow to the Notre-Dame neighborhood, which is becoming a real halal district in the heart of our city. Preempt, with the intention of making them facilities of general interest and certainly not to rent the premises to Muslims as the town hall intends to do on Rue de Suisse!
It took nearly two months of determined struggle for the town hall (the initial meetings requested by the current owner of the restaurant having proved fruitless) to finally decide to take action. Yesterday, the final preemption of the restaurant La Petite Biche was notified to its owner by courier. A great relief for this man, who refused to see a family business turned into a large mosque, and for all the residents who can no longer bear the grim fate of their neighborhood. The 250 m² of the restaurant should be allocated to municipal services in the coming months.
We disclosed these facts to the media; ten days ago, we asked our supporters and, more broadly, all the people of Nice who refuse the Islamization of their city to put pressure on the municipality by calling and writing (according to internal sources in the town hall, several hundred calls were received in just a few days); and it is also likely that the action by some brave rebels who decided to symbolically change the names of the streets of Italy, England, and Switzerland to provoke a reaction played a role in the situation’s evolution.
Undoubtedly, this is an important victory against Christian Estrosi and his policy of collaboration with the UOIF, a significant victory against the Islamization of our city and the ghettoization of our downtown. An identity victory, and above all a victory for the historic people of Nice.
But, here as elsewhere, the fight is not over. We must now ensure that the Muslims squatting for ELEVEN years in the mosque on Rue de Suisse (without a lease, without paying rent) are evicted in accordance with the court’s decision. And this building, already purchased by the town hall, should be used to support the renovation of this district rather than its communautarization.
By halting street prayers with the porchetta-rosé aperitif last March, by today compelling the town hall to preempt the restaurant on Saëtone Square, we have demonstrated that we can influence events by fighting.
