The elected officials and members of the municipal council of Montardon wished to express their solidarity and commitment following recent acts of extreme violence that have occurred throughout France, targeting institutions, businesses, and law enforcement.
The declaration from the Association of Mayors of France (AMF) strongly condemns these acts, calling the burning of town halls, looting of shops, and attacks on public officials unacceptable as they directly undermine democracy and fundamental public freedoms. Full support is expressed for law enforcement, emergency services, shopkeepers, and all mobilized municipal agents.
The AMF calls for concrete measures, including a review of intervention means and doctrines to ensure the restoration of public order, exemplary sanctions, and strengthened dialogue between the State and local elected officials. The association urges unity and citizen responsibility to preserve civil peace.
Although Montardon has remained preserved and peaceful, the municipality felt it important to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to republican values, respect for public service, and the serenity of its living environment.
