France to deploy 30,000 police after election runoff amid fears of violence

YEREVAN, JULY 4, ARMENPRESS. About 30,000 police will be deployed across France on Sunday night amid fears of violence after the final results of a snap election in which the far right hopes to gain a majority in parliament, reports the Guardian.

Gérald Darmanin, the interior minister, said 5,000 police would be on duty in Paris and its surrounding areas to “ensure that the radical right and radical left do not take advantage of the situation to cause mayhem”.
