Lower House Speaker Represents HM the King in Memorial Ceremony for Nice Attack Victims

Speaker of the House of Representatives Habib El Malki represented HM King Mohammed VI in the memorial ceremony for Nice attack victims, which was held on Friday in this south-eastern French city, in the presence of President Emmanuel Macron and his two predecessors François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy.

   Some 86 people were killed and 450 others wounded in the attack when a truck ploughed into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice during the July 14, 2016 fireworks display.

   Mr. El Malki, who was accompanied by Morocco’s Consul General in Marseille Younes Dirhoussi, met the families of the Moroccan victims of this attack.

   Four Moroccan nationals, a 13-year-old child, 43-year-old and 49-year-old women and a 50-year-old man, all living in France, were among the victims of the attack.
