A French gendarme holds a photo of French gendarme Eric Comyn during a tribute ceremony, five days after he was fatally run down at a traffic check by a driver with multiple past convictions, in Nice on September 2, 2024. The widow of the French gendarme, who was fatally run down on August 28, 2024 in Mougins, blamed government "laxity" for her husband's death. The incident has again fuelled debates about law and order in France which were a major feature of legislative elections earlier this summer where the far right recorded major gains.
