French Prime Minister Manuel Valls was booed by thousands of mourners at
the Promenade des Anglais in Nice as he arrived for the memorial
service of the Nice ‘Bastille day’ attack victims where 84 people where
killed by a truck driving ISIS fanatic.

Mr
Valls felt the full wrath of the public who accused the government of a
series of security failings that allowed three major terror attacks over
the last 18 months.

Nice resident Isabel, who declined to give her surname, said she did not boo but understood why tensions are running high.

โ€œThey want him (Mr Valls) to resign because he didnโ€™t put enough police
on the day,โ€  the 60-year-old to The Sun..โ€œI was there (on Thursday) and
didnโ€™t see police.

โ€œItโ€™s terrible to say but we need a stronger prime minister with laws
against radicalism. I am very sad. It (the attack) has broken families
apart for nothing.”
