The municipality strongly condemns the acts of violence and vandalism committed. It also expresses its support for law enforcement and emergency personnel on the ground.
“"We invite you to join us for this moment of gathering and solidarity."
The Association of Mayors of France (AMF) also calls for a rally in front of town halls on Monday, October 19th, starting at noon. The AMF fully condemns these assaults and vandalism, which have crossed an unacceptable threshold, and expresses its solidarity with the mayors, their teams, as well as the residents and shopkeepers of the affected towns, citing Limoges, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Calais, and Grenoble among others.
The Association expresses its gratitude to law enforcement and emergency service personnel. It calls on mayors and municipal councils to gather, along with all willing stakeholders, on Monday, October 19th, starting at noon or later in the day.
These serious attacks on democratic institutions pose a real risk to the entire Nation, and the priority is now to restore order so that public liberties can be respected.
