“For this deconfinement to take place, for the stages of deconfinement to be respected, for the French to be able to live again normally, everyone must respect them and therefore yes, that means that the police and gendarmes will be particularly severe after 9 p.m. to enforce the rules we have put in place “, said the minister during a trip to Nantes.
“I believe that all French people are very happy to find the life of before and it is quite normal that we can continue to find this life of before (…) and the national police, the gendarmerie are there to apply the rules that protect our fellow citizens and that some do not prevent the life of before coming back “, continued Gérald Darmanin, referring to the images of the evening of the first day of reopening of the terraces in Rennes, where several hundred revelers had braved the curfew in the historic center of the city. Firefighters had to intervene to extinguish a pallet fire, while police used tear gas in response to projectile fire.
