France to deploy large police force for Saturday protests, with army support

nos.nl (Dutch) —

France will deploy a large police force for Saturday's announced demonstrations, with the government also planning to use soldiers to relieve officers for order maintenance duties. Prime Minister Lecornu announced the "substantial" deployment in parliament, while Interior Minister Nuñez said authorities may ban unregistered demonstrations or those likely to cause unrest, following weekend riots over government policy and living costs. The curfew, credited for last night's calm, remains in effect where local authorities deem necessary, including Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux, and parts of central Paris.
