The President of the National Assembly plans to create a commission of inquiry following the violence on the sidelines of the October 17 mobilization

The President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, is considering the creation of a commission of inquiry into the violence that occurred throughout France on the sidelines of the demonstrations on Saturday October 17. Contacted by franceinfo, Sunday October 18, those around her said that she “will bring together the group presidents on Tuesday morning to this end”.

Guest of franceinfo, Sunday morning, Alexis Corbière appealed precisely to the President of the National Assembly. "We've been seeing things since last night that we've never seen before, it's unprecedented. Well, at an unprecedented time, an unprecedented measure, explained the Ecologist and Social MP for Seine-Saint-Denis. All political forces combined, we must be able to hear the actors and understand."

Criticism from the political class is intensifying over the fact that the police and gendarmes have been overwhelmed by the scale of the damage in many cities. “There was clearly a lack of resources in the capital,” lamented Lamia El Aaraje, first deputy mayor of Paris, for example, still on franceinfo. “Obviously, yes, the police were overwhelmed, particularly in certain places.”
