Invited on RTL on Monday morning, the prefect of police of Paris Laurent Nuñez alerted to the estimated presence of around 2000 “
ultra
” activists in Paris as part of the May Day demonstration.
“
Activists from the ultra-left movement come to commit violence, and today they will have the reinforcement of activists from all over Europe
”, indicated the prefect of police when Labor Day will also mark this year the 13th day of mobilization against the pension reform.
In the Parisian procession, "
we expect 2,000 ultra militants
", including some "
foreigners
" in view of the "
international movement of the ultra-left
", insisted Laurent Nuñez.
These individuals "come to commit abuses and violence", warned the Paris police chief.
“
French or foreign, all the thugs who will be at the demonstration will find an appropriate response, but above all a very firm one
,” he warned.
To secure the procession in the capital, the Minister of the Interior announced the deployment of 5,000 police and gendarmes, 12,000 throughout the territory.
On April 13, on the eve of the Constitutional Council's decision to validate most of the pension reform, 12 people were arrested in Paris.
But it was especially on March 20, after the final adoption of the text and the rejection of the two motions of censure by the National Assembly, that scenes of violence and chaos had punctuated in several cities in France.
