The racist attack in Trappes, on the outskirts of Paris, reopens the debate on the role of the media in the spread of hatred
A racist attack in Trappes, a multicultural suburb of Paris, has left five people injured, including a 12-year-old girl, and one person dead, 26-year-old Pengo Bossio Wangi. The attack has caused fear and anxiety among the community, with some residents too afraid to leave their homes. Neighbors of the victims are questioning how someone could harbor so much hatred to carry out such an attack, and are expressing anger towards right-wing media outlets like CNews, LCI, and BFM that they say help spread racist ideas. The community is mourning the loss of Bossio Wangi, a well-liked young athlete.
