Le Canard enchaîné denounced a "gigantic police fiasco" on October 17. The weekly wrote that Laurent Nuñez had left 14 companies of CRS (French riot police) at rest, as the Minister of the Interior and his intelligence services believed that the movement would lose momentum with the start of the school holidays. He criticized them for not anticipating either the number of protesters or the rapprochement between the far-left and young people from the suburbs. The newspaper also claimed that one CRS company had been assigned to protect the chocolate shops of Brigitte Macron's brother, in Amiens and Le Touquet, while the rest of France was lacking CRS. https://t.co/QZN5YYWWIp #Fiasco #Manifestation #Policiers (translated)
