Twelve.
This is the number of demonstrations that France and Paris have experienced since the start of the protest movement against the pension reform, on January 19.
If the mobilizations have tended to run out of steam in recent weeks, they have nonetheless, sometimes, turned into violence initiated by certain radical groups.
Often causing severe damage to infrastructure and public property.
Three months later, the City of Paris released the calculator.
These actions cost 1.6 million euros to municipal finances, according to information from Le
Parisien
,
confirmed to Le
Figaro.
The first deputy PS at the town hall of Paris Emmanuel Grégoire also specifies that this amount is indeed the cost of damage to street furniture.
The impact on private businesses, such as businesses, was not disclosed and did not fan out in the halls of City Hall.
In detail, Paris has spent 536,000 euros on cleanliness, using service providers or paying municipal agents overtime to clean the streets of the capital.
106,000 euros were also disbursed to repair tree grates, benches, or bus shelters.
But the largest disbursement, of 836,000 euros, will go to JCDecaux and Clear Channel to replace destroyed newsstands or broken billboards.
According to the estimates of the
Parisian,
the total cost is therefore higher than that of the damage during the movement of the yellow vests.
Which had already cost 1.4 million euros to the community.

“The first demonstrations went very well, then there was a hardening of the movement in the three weeks which preceded the recourse to 49-3
”, continues the right arm of the mayor Anne Hidalgo to the
Parisian.
If a few incidents had enamelled the processions between January and March, the use by the government of the constitutional tool a month and a half ago had triggered a wave of violence within the demonstrations.
After March 16, the date of the activation of 49-3 by the executive in the National Assembly, many garbage fires had been started and bus shelters stoned.
Several emblematic places and squares in Paris had also been the scene of clashes between demonstrators and the police, like the Concorde, the Bastille or the Opera.
Sign of a radicalization of the movement.
