The cultural Year of Mexico in France was officially called off. The event was supposed to showcase Mexican culture. But it has become impossible to organize it following Mexico’s decision to boycott the celebration. Nicolas Sarkozy angered the Mexican government after he said he wants to dedicate the cultural festival to Florence Cassez. Who's to blame for this fiasco?

Misunderstanding

There is a confusion in the video between the fiasco of the arrest reenactment and the fairness of Cassez' trial. The two are separate, and because no evidence of the reenactment was presented as evidence, the trial cannot be judged to have been unfair because of that. Whether it was fair or not is a separate point unrelated to the reenactment.
