For more than a week now, France has been experiencing violent mass protests, which were started by the death of a teenager of Arab origin, Nahel Merzouk. Compared to the first days, already on Sunday, July 2, the number of arrested protesters was significantly less than the nights before, however, the scale of the damage caused by then was impressive – the rebels had caused about 3,000 fires in the country. and around 2,000 cars were burned. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanen announced on Saturday that the average age of the arrested rebels is 17 years old.
The turmoil has also spread to neighboring countries. Swiss police reported demonstrations in Switzerland’s French-speaking western city of Lausanne on Sunday, July 2. Protests have also been organized in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
More than 100 people have gathered in the center of Lausanne, who responded to social media calls. Young people broke the windows of several shops, broke their doors, and threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the police. The detainees in Switzerland were also mostly minors. “It is quite clear that these young people were inspired by the situation in France,” commented the Lausanne police representative to the media. In Brussels, several dozen people were detained already last Thursday, and several fires caused by them were extinguished.
