Before the protests on October 24, law enforcement is caught between exhaustion and apprehension: "We've been chaining thirteen-hour days for four weeks"

French law enforcement is preparing for heightened security measures for the upcoming mobilizations on October 24, following recent violent protests. All available resources, including riot police and training staff, will be deployed to ensure safety. The authorities aim to avoid the mistakes of previous events, where inadequate security led to significant unrest. Officers are facing fatigue and injuries after weeks of continuous duty due to ongoing student protests, particularly in areas heavily affected by blockades. Maintaining order over an extended period has proven challenging for the police force.
