Marc Vanguard published a first provisional report on the riots and looting of October 17. He estimated that in just a few hours, France experienced the equivalent of several days of riots. He reported 1,800 arrests, including 855 in Paris, and stated that the previous record was 1,700 during the fourth act of the Yellow Vests. He also reported that more than 500 police officers, gendarmes, and firefighters were injured, a toll he presented as provisional and likely unprecedented. In comparison, he wrote, 800 police officers were injured during the riots related to Nahel, but over a period of eight days. According to his report, 1,500 businesses were attacked, looted, or destroyed. He called this figure a record, comparing it to the approximately 200 businesses targeted during the worst day of the Yellow Vests and the thousand recorded during the riots related to Nahel, again over eight days. Marc Vanguard also reported at least seven attacked town halls in Limoges, Marseille, Lille, Angers, Nantes, Caen, and Grenoble. He stated that no major historical public building was destroyed in May 1968 and mentioned the partial burning of the ground floor of the Paris Stock Exchange. Citing the Federation of Trade and Distribution, he estimated the damages at several hundred thousand euros. He finally noted that one-third of the people arrested in Paris were minors and specified that he would follow updates on this provisional report. #Émeutes #France #Actualités (translated)
