In response to recent violence affecting municipalities, including the burning of town halls and public buildings, and looting of shops, the AMF considers that an unacceptable threshold has been crossed. These acts of vandalism target not only institutions but, more seriously, the public liberties of all citizens.
The association expresses its full solidarity with the mayors, municipal teams, residents, and shopkeepers of the affected communes across France. It also commends the dedication of law enforcement and emergency services.
Elected officials, local actors, and citizens are invited to gather to affirm their commitment to the Republic, civil peace, and freedoms.
