In response to the fires at town halls, public buildings, and the looting of shops, the municipality of Saint-Romain-le-Puy expresses its solidarity with the mayors, elected officials, municipal agents, residents, and shopkeepers of the affected communes. These acts, described as extremely serious, threaten public freedoms and the very foundations of democracy.
The local government also commends the commitment of law enforcement and emergency services. Following a call from the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), a rally is scheduled for Monday, October 19th at 12 PM on the town hall square. This event aims to reaffirm commitment to republican values and the restoration of public order.
“"Beyond the damage to property and institutions, these acts of violence threaten public freedoms and the very foundations of our democracy."
The commune thus reaffirms its commitment to democracy and respect for all.
