Cape Verde is a tropical archipelago of the coast of West Africa. It is populated by black and mixed-race people who are descended from slaves brought to the islands by the Portuguese in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Mougins is a town in southeastern France that is set in idyllic surroundings on a hilltop just above Cannes, on the Côte d’Azur. Last Monday the tranquility of Mougins was shattered when a migrant from Cape Verde with an extensive criminal record (including but not limited to assaulting police officers) ran over and killed the deputy chief of police. The driver maintains that he did not run over his victim deliberately, but eyewitnesses and video evidence suggest otherwise.

The following video features remarks made to the press by the widow of the slain deputy police chief. Below is an excerpt from the introduction to the video at RAIR Foundation:

France’s reckless open-border policies and left-wing justice system allowed a violent criminal migrant to roam free, resulting in the brutal murder of Deputy Police Chief Éric Comyn, a devoted husband and father; his widow, Harmonie, now condemns the state for putting dangerous migrants above the safety of French citizens, holding it directly responsible for her husband’s death and their children’s loss.

The murder of beloved French Deputy Police Chief Éric Comyn has not only left deep scars in the municipality of Mougins but has also sent shockwaves across France, exposing the profound failures of a justice system that many believe is broken. Comyn, who was a husband and the father of two children, aged 12 and 16, was due to retire in May 2025 after more than 30 years of service. A criminal migrant ran him over during a routine traffic check — an event that has ignited widespread outrage and demands for accountability.
