The CNR on Thursday will bring together around fifty people from 5 p.m., including several ministers (Aurore Bergé, Charlotte Caubel, Gérald Darmanin, Eric Dupond-Moretti, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, Jean-Noël Barrot, Dominique Faure), around ten mayors affected by the violence, as well as researchers, parliamentarians, associations, and representatives of communities and unions.
