For this second night following the tragedy, the heavy damage was to be deplored to the Franco-Belgian border, this Thursday.
Firefighters were still battling the fire at Lidl in Wattrelos on Thursday
In Wattrelos, it is amazement when you face the Lidl having a gable on one of the main boulevards.

“They looted it before setting it on fire. Of course, Lidl will not come back to settle here! It’s a shame to attack local businesses”, annoys a local resident calling out to us .

A social center also suffered damage in the city of Berlouffes.
In the Beaulieu district, still in the same city, we will also note that around thirty rioters blocked the entire square, armed with bars…
A partially destroyed school in Tourcoing
The desolation might also be read on many faces around the Sainte-Clothilde school.
In the shadow of the city of Burgundy, part of the classes of little bits simply went up in smoke from 2 o’clock in the morning.

It is impossible to justify any link whatsoever between the event that occurred in Nanterre and the desire to destroy a school site except for pleasure. The Lille judicial police were investigating during our visit.
The firefighters had to be escorted by CRS during the night to put out the flames! The Aldi store next to it was also ransacked and set on fire.
“It’s the thugs who are going to back down”, released Minister Darmanin in his lands
The Minister of the Interior, Gérard Darmanin, came to his own city to see the damage to the school. He might not contain his revolt: “I feel disgust, sadness and a feeling of cowardice in relation to those who do this. To attack a school, in a popular district which needs public service, It’s disgusting. It’s not the city of Tourcoing that will back down, it’s the thugs who will back down. It touches me deeply.”
In the meantime, for the last few weeks of classes, a fallback solution is already being sought elsewhere than at rue du Docteur-Schweitzer, this Thursday.
The mayor of Tourcoing, Doriane Bécue, is thinking of the Camille-Claudel school which might welcome young people until the end of the school year, i.e. July 7
The town hall of Mons-en-Baroeul devastated
Finally, among the damage on the territory of the North, in addition to Roubaix, Hem or Lille, all eyes are also turned towards the town hall of Mons-en-Baroeul which has paid a heavy price. A building that was also set on fire.
The images of his nocturnal rampage and provocations of the rioters with the police are looping on the networks.

Here too, Minister Darmanin came to lend his support while promising a reinforcement of the police force for the next nights, across Quievrain.
The right calls for the triggering of a state of emergency, which it does not want.
On the side of the building, the fire was also put out there. ©EdA
