A gathering was held at the initiative of the Association of Mayors of France to firmly mark opposition to the violence and vandalism that took place last Saturday in multiple cities across France. The event aimed to express solidarity with the affected communes.
Organizers emphasized that such violence and destruction cannot be tolerated, stating that only democratic debate can advance reflection and decisions. The freedom to protest was defended as a fundamental right for every citizen, which the State must guarantee without fear.
The commune of Quincy-Voisins expressed its solidarity with all town halls that suffered damage, as well as with the numerous affected shopkeepers and the emergency and security services. Thoughts were extended to the many injured, none of whom can be accepted.
The event also served to reaffirm the values of the Republic, emphasizing respect, dialogue, and living together as cornerstones of collective life and democratic debate, beyond any differences.
