Tuesday, December 15, it is 8 p.m. in Paris. Installed in front of the National Assembly, a team of police officers carries out the first checks of vehicles after the entry into force of the new curfew. Some had “Completely forgotten”, the others exercise jobs that require their presence outside but the observation is there, there are still people in the streets of the capital, as we see in the video below:
“I think I completely forgot when I got out of my work day that there was a curfew tonight. It’s the first night of curfew, I think, and I forgot “, Is justified Cédric, 48 years old, stopped by the police. But, he promises, he will think about it and will be “Much more vigilant”.
Curfews, travel, deconfinement …: the new rules in force since Tuesday
Zouhier, 46, shows total serenity by handing his certificate to a police officer:“I have a movement certificate, generally I work in the transport industry. So […] I don’t have that problem. “
The priority is to enforce the curfew
During these early checks in the center of Paris, most drivers did have a certificate, as the police commissioner, Jean-Sébastien Rosadoni noted. However, he does not draw any trend, limiting himself to explaining the objective of these checks:
“The priority is to enforce the curfew to save lives, so we control the vehicles or pedestrians who may appear, and therefore, if necessary, if they do not have the certificate with the right motive, we verbalize them. “
The curfew now applies from 8 p.m. daily, New Year included, with the sole exception of Christmas Eve, at least until January 20. And the lifting of the restrictions does not apply to bars, restaurants, theaters, performance halls, cinemas, museums, or stadium stands.
