At the call of the Association of Mayors of France and the Association of Mayors of the Var, the Mayor of La Garde, Hélène Arnaud Bill, invites all residents of La Garde to gather this Monday, October 19th at 12 PM in front of the City Hall in La Garde. This gathering is intended as a solemn moment of unity and solidarity.
The mayor unequivocally condemns the violence that marred several French cities on Saturday, on the sidelines of purchasing power demonstrations. She emphasizes that these acts must be clearly distinguished from peaceful mobilizations, as no demand justifies destruction, looting, or assault.
Through this gathering, the city of La Garde will express its support for the residents, shopkeepers, elected officials, and public servants affected by this violence, as well as for the law enforcement officers and firefighters mobilized.
Beyond differences, citizens are called upon to affirm their commitment to their municipalities, their freedoms, and respect for the Republic.
