Paris.- At least 667 people were arrested on the night from Thursday to Friday in France, the third consecutive riot after the death of a young man in Nanterre by a shot by the police while trying to flee from a checkpoint.
The Minister of the Interior, Gerald DarmaninHe gave that figure in a message on his Twitter account and related it to the “firm” instructions he had given.
Darmanin, who had deployed 40,000 agents to try to prevent the riots from recurring, stressed that police officers, gendarmes and firefighters had to “face unusual violence.”
