Gabriel Attal’s visit to the school Marcel Pagnol de Meyzieu was canceled this Friday June 28 at noon. Because it has turned into a big political circus…
As the Prime Minister was on his way to the establishment, which was set on fire by two minors last week, his office was reportedly informed that LR mayor Christophe Quiniou was refusing to open the door.
At least, that is what the outgoing MP for the 13th constituency, Sarah Tanzilli, maintained in front of the school where she was to welcome the head of government. “The mayor’s attitude is lamentable,” the MP condemned. “He even threatened to disrupt the Prime Minister’s visit by making a scandal in front of the cameras.”
“The least you could have done was to keep me informed”
But this version was quickly contradicted by the mayor of Meyzieu, who finally arrived on site.
If he admitted having told Gabriel Attal’s teams that he “was not there to serve as a doormat for everyone” and that he did not appreciate the political recovery of the fire, he did not would not have categorically refused to open the school doors.
“The least you could have done would have been to keep me informed of the Prime Minister’s arrival time rather than calling me 10 minutes before. But I was going to open the door. The proof is that I came.”

And Christophe Quiniou tried to prove it even more by pulling out a bunch of keys.
“He is afraid that I will denounce his scandalous political recovery”
Also arriving on site, the former LR deputy of 13e circo and candidate Sunday Philippe Meunier then put forward a theory on the last minute cancellation of Gabriel Attal: “He knew that I was there and he is afraid that I will denounce his scandalous political recovery to try to save Sarah Tanzilli who is in the bark. There is no better person than Tiffany Joncour from the National Rally who came to be filmed in front of the burned establishment. His attitude is unworthy of a Prime Minister. »
“It’s distressing”
Faced with accusations of political exploitation, Sarah Tanzilli immediately disagreed: “It just seemed normal to me that the State could come to the bedside of this school. It was also a question of finding solutions to best support the town hall. But everything was orchestrated by Christophe Quiniou and Philippe Meunier to politicize this visit. It’s distressing. »
