The statement from Mayor Fanny Castaignède expresses solidarity with affected municipalities, shopkeepers, and injured public officials during the recent clashes. She strongly condemns the unacceptable violence committed in numerous French cities, including Limoges, Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, and Paris, where public buildings were attacked and shops looted.
The text emphasizes that these events should not be confused with the peaceful social mobilizations of recent weeks. The municipal majority urges the government to seriously address the concerns and legitimate demands expressed by young people, workers, and citizens, through concrete measures rather than repression.
This gathering aims to affirm commitment to republican values, respect, and dialogue. It reiterates solidarity with municipalities and victims of violence. The town hall also relays the call for a parliamentary commission to examine the violence and the authorities' responses.
