Since the beginning of the mass protests in France, which started on Tuesday of last week, the country’s law enforcement agencies have detained more than 2,000 people.
According to France24, citing the country’s Ministry of the Interior, 157 people were detained on Monday alone.
French President Emmanuel Macron held an operational headquarters meeting with cabinet members on Sunday, July 2, and instructed the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice to restore order in the country and investigate the causes of the events.
The mass unrest in France began last week when 17-year-old Naël M. was shot and killed by a police officer in the town of Nanterre near Paris.
According to media reports, the majority of the protesters are young people. Some French media outlets state that instead of blaming the protesters, the French authorities should focus on issues of Nazism and racism among police officers, as this factor is the cause of the teenager’s death and the mass protests.
According to media reports, to suppress the protests and ensure safety in the cities, the French authorities have deployed 45,000 police officers and gendarmes.
