Overview
- Mayor Kristell Niasme suspended the December 22 session immediately as councillors restrained Mamadou Traoré.
- The confrontation was captured on a Facebook livestream as Traoré rose with a clenched fist toward LFI deputy Louis Boyard.
- Traoré apologized when the meeting resumed, calling the incident an exception and citing what he described as repeated provocations.
- Boyard said the clash followed his remark to councillor Fadwa Sadak that Traoré was not acting like an opposition elected official.
- The episode caps a breakdown between former allies who campaigned together early in 2025 before splitting in March, now feeding questions over 2026 endorsements.
