Lecornu made the commitment in parliament, saying the deployment for the next round of demonstrations would be “massive,” according to France 24. Organisers announced the new protests after riots erupted on the sidelines of nationwide demonstrations in France, the broadcaster reported.
The prime minister also acknowledged that the security operation during the previous weekend’s protests had been “too static and not mobile enough,” according to France 24. The source does not provide the size or composition of the planned deployment.
France 24 reporter Luke Shrago reported from Place de la République in central Paris. The supplied report does not identify the protest organisers or specify the exact locations of the planned demonstrations. It refers to the protests as taking place the following Saturday; the calendar date of October 24, 2026, is an inference from the supplied publication date and is therefore not independently established.
