France will deploy 70,000 officers around the country. Protests are also expected in Italy, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Albania and Ireland
The mood in Paris was heightened by fear and horror after what the government said was “racist, terrorist attack” in two towns west of the city on Friday.
A 26-year-old, well-respected martial arts star from a club outside Paris was killed and five other people were injured, including a 12-year-old girl shot eight times as a gunman pointed an automatic weapon from his car.
I want to express our support and condolences to the victims, their families, and all the residents of Trappes.
This violence does not come from nowhere, it comes from speeches that convey racism, anti-Semitism, violence, which essentially come from the speeches of the far right.
