O Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos publicou na quinta-feira (22) um alerta de segurança para os americanos que estiverem na França, pedindo cuidado durante os protestos convocados para sábado (24) e domingo (25).
“Manifestações recentes foram violentas e envolveram pesada destruição de propriedades, saques descontrolados e ataques à polícia”, diz o comunicado.
France: Violence and rioting, tied to ongoing protests, have recently occurred in France and may continue. The French government has indicated they will take steps to curb “illegitimate” protests, while those organized by groups such as trade unions would be allowed to proceed. Given the heightened concerns, avoid demonstrations and areas of unrest. Stay away from areas with large crowds or significant police activity. Numerous groups submitted plans for protests on Saturday, October 24. Americans in Paris for the NFL game on Sunday, October 25 should also exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings. While permits may be filed for demonstration routes, last-minute changes can happen and protests can occur outside planned routes. Recent demonstrations were violent and involved heavy property destruction, uncontrolled looting, and attacks on police. Police responded with crowd control methods including tear gas. In Orléans, media report significant marches and protests planned for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25.
