Thousands gathered on the Promenade des Anglais four days after the attack on July 14. "What was attacked on July 14 was national unity," Hollande told hundreds of victims' relatives and officials invited to the ceremony. Hollande's Socialist government came under fire for alleged security lapses ahead of the attack in Nice, a bastion of the rightwing opposition. Vincent Delhommel Desmarest, who runs a restaurant on the Promenade des Anglais, is still haunted by the bloodbath and has yet to return to work. Four days after the Nice attack, Prime Minister Manuel Valls was booed when he visited the city to honour the victims.
