New decision in France, where the streets are on fire: The number of police will increase

A question session was held for the government at the General Assembly of the National Assembly in Paris, the capital of France. Speaking at the board, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that intense measures would be taken within the scope of the yellow vest demonstrations planned across the country on October 24.

Stating that the partial curfews imposed in different places will continue, Lecornu emphasized that he does not want the tradesmen's shops to be looted again. Lecornu reminded that control was lost from time to time in some cities during the yellow vest demonstrations on October 17, and noted that they did not allow the rebel groups to march towards the Elysee Palace and the Prime Ministry.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez also stated that the number and opportunities of police to be assigned to the demonstrations on October 24 will be increased. Nunez stated that within the framework of the October 24 demonstrations, they plan to assign soldiers serving in the anti-terrorism operation called Sentinelle to ensure the security of certain points instead of law enforcement officers.

To the allegation that he asked the intelligence units to blame the leftist Unyielding France (LFI) Party for the weekend violence, Nunez responded as follows: "You accused the Minister of the Interior of manipulating the intelligence units to direct them against the LFI. This is a lie. The intelligence units in this country do not work on opposition parties." Accusing the party in question of adding fuel to the fire, Nunez argued that the LFI Party also had a share in the serious events that took place during the demonstrations on October 17.

Yellow vests, supported by students, organized demonstrations across the country on October 17 against the high cost of living and high fuel prices.

While approximately 2,500 people were detained during the demonstrations, more than 1,000 police officers, gendarmerie soldiers and firefighters were injured. Approximately 3 thousand workplaces were damaged or looted during the demonstrations that included violent incidents. To prevent possible protests, the government decided to impose a partial curfew in some regions, especially the cities of Paris, Lille, Lyon and Nice.
