[Préfet de Police @prefetpolice]

À la demande du ministre de l’Intérieur, @NunezLaurent, j’ai pris un arrêté interdisant une manifestation « contre le génocide à Gaza et pour le respect du cessez-le-feu» à Paris mercredi 7 octobre 2026.

Cette date marque le troisième anniversaire de l’attaque terroriste du Hamas contre Israël et donnera lieu à de nombreuses commémorations.

Dans un contexte de menace terroriste élevée et alors que les actes antisémites restent à un niveau historiquement haut dans notre pays, une telle manifestation, ce jour-là, fait peser des risques importants de troubles à l’ordre public.

Face à cela, notamment, et au regard de l’ensemble des risques identifiés, ma responsabilité est de garantir la sécurité de tous.

J’ai donc décidé d’interdire cette manifestation.

@SamuelVimes10 It's a mystery to me why anybody who has been a teenager and then grown out of it would think that teenagers had anything worthwhile to say.

@rakibehsan @unherd I think a successful multi-ethnic society is possible, but it needs to be mono-cultural.

@SartorialThug Looks a bit old to be doing work experience.
Must have been held back a few years.

The greatest irony of scientific progress is this: when science succeeds, people stop seeing the problems it solved. Eventually, they begin to believe those problems never existed in the first place.

It's amazes me that anyone can be described as the underdog when playing the England football team. Surely England are always the underdogs?

[Joe Dummer @halfclosedeye]

@SartorialThug I always count a draw as a win for England, the useless bastards.

[Joe Dummer @halfclosedeye]

@SartorialThug Yeah, professional.
