Protecting the French also means keeping a close eye on domestic violence, which has been on the rise since the start of confinement. The Minister recalled that this violence had increased by 32% in the “gendarme zone” (rural), and by 36% in the “police zone” (cities). He recalled the existence of a telephone number available by SMS, 114 , for people who have neither the possibility of going out nor the possibility of connecting to the internet.
"We don't go on vacation during the confinement period"
Christophe Castaner has become an educator to remind once again the importance of these containment measures, and he underlined the impossibility for all French people to go on vacation - which starts on Saturday April 4 for zone C. There will be very strict controls on departures from major cities, he warned. We will control departures by train, plane, and on the roads . ” The Minister, apart from elsewhere, recalled that the rail supply was reduced to 6% of its usual traffic.
In addition, Christophe Castaner said he had asked the day before, Tuesday, March 31, the prefects to monitor rentals, always with a view to preventing departures on vacation.
