'France Murdered My Husband' (Translated Video)

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.

Born on April 30, 1970, in Paris, Comyn dedicated his life to public service, beginning his career in the gendarmerie in 1994 after his military service in the Navy. He served in various roles, earning the respect of his colleagues and multiple commendations, including the National Defense Medal (gold level) and the Territorial Protection Medal. At the commemoration, his widow, Harmonie, spoke out: “I say it loud and clear: France murdered my husband.”

The man behind the wheel, Louis Antonio Mendez Vaz, is a 39-year-old Cape Verdean with a temporary residence permit valid until 2026. He has an extensive criminal record dating back to 2006, including convictions for violence, hit-and-run, driving without a license, violence against police officers, and driving under the influence as recently as 2023. Despite this extensive criminal history, he was still free to continue driving, leading to the tragic incident on Monday.

The commemoration took place on Wednesday in Mougins, on the Côte d’Azur. Widow Harmonie criticized French justice policy in her speech. “Éric was more than just a public servant; he was a devoted husband and father. Our children now have to grow up without their father because the system failed to protect him—and us.” “I say it loud and clear: France has killed my husband. France has killed my husband, the father of my children. France has killed my husband through its inadequacy, its laxity, and its excess of tolerance,” she said.

Harmonie continued: “France has killed my husband. How, why, why can this multi-recidivist man circulate in complete freedom? When will our lawmakers actually open their eyes? Do they have to be directly affected in order to act? How many deaths before these assassins are really punished? Banning, expulsion, withdrawal of the rights granted by such a well-done procedure, and so on.”

After the murder, the suspect fled. He was arrested during the night from Monday to Tuesday after the French police responded with a helicopter and gendarmes. Mendez Vaz appeared to be driving under the influence. Although he claims not to have deliberately run over the officer, camera images circulating on social media suggest otherwise.

Harmonie Comyn’s remarks have resonated with many across France, striking at the heart of a nation grappling with the consequences of its left-wing immigration and justice policies. She mocked the leftist culture of apology that often seems more concerned with excusing the actions of criminals than protecting the lives of law-abiding citizens. “How many deaths before these assassins are really punished?” she asked, pointing to a justice system that has repeatedly failed to protect its people.

The aftermath of her statements has been as telling as it is tragic. Harmonie has faced a barrage of insults and threats on social media, a despicable reaction from those who would rather silence her than confront the uncomfortable truths she exposes. The venom directed at her reflects a broader problem within French society, where those who dare to speak out against the prevailing leftist orthodoxy are often met with hostility rather than support.

This episode is emblematic of a larger issue that has been festering in France for years. The refusal to comply with law enforcement has become a disturbingly common occurrence, especially in the wake of incidents like the death of Nahel Merzouk. The left’s anti-police rhetoric, echoed by politicians like those from the La France Insoumise party, has only exacerbated the problem, creating an environment where criminals feel emboldened and law enforcement officers are increasingly at risk.

Moreover, the case has brought to light the stark contrast in how different groups are treated under the law. While ordinary French citizens are expected to adhere strictly to the rules, there appears to be a troubling double standard for certain groups, particularly regarding migrants with criminal records. Harmonie’s words have forced many to question the wisdom of these policies and whether the state’s tolerance has gone too far.

Warrant Officer Éric Comyn’s life was tragically cut short just months before he was set to retire and spend more time with his family. France’s left-wing open-border policies continue to claim the lives of innocent French citizens. They are sacrificing their own at the altar of multiculturalism. Those responsible for allowing a dangerous criminal to remain in France despite his clear threat to public safety should be held criminally accountable. How many more innocent lives must be lost before these destructive policies are finally changed?

If France continues down this path, how many more families will be forced to endure the same heartache? The time for change is not just urgent—it is a matter of life and death. The country can no longer afford to sacrifice innocent lives at the altar of misguided policies. The time to act is now before more lives are tragically cut short.
