Time.news – Exceptional security measures in the main French cities to prevent the national holiday of July 14 from rekindling a new wave of violence after those that erupted in the killing of the young Nahel two weeks ago. The first night of celebrations was calm, BfmTv reported, citing Interior Ministry sources. To avoid a recurrence of incidents and violence, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin deployed “130,000 policemen and gendarmes, of which 45,000 specially equipped every evening to combat urban violence”, 10,000 in the Capital Region alone.
Important traffic restrictions on public transport have been implemented in various departments, while some municipalities, especially in the Ile de France region, have announced the canceling fireworks displays or even all festivities. The sale of fireworks to private individuals has already been banned throughout the country, a measure that is part of the plan to deal with the risk of accidents and violence during the celebrations of the national holiday.
The extreme drought that has hit the country and the risk of triggering fires also weigh. This year’s guest of honor at the July 14 party will be Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who will attend the traditional military parade on the Champs Elysees in Paris with President Emmanuel Macron.
