I was reading an article the other
day in the online edition of BBC News and it talks about the state of emergency
extension for EURO 2016 in France.
I thought you might be interested
because the majority of us is going to watch a football game on our trip to
France.
It has now
been a topic since November 2015, when the Paris attacks happened.
Basically,
the article relates that the French government plans to extend a state of
emergency, which was imposed after the Paris attacks in November, to cover the Euro 2016
football tournament.
It also
says that the current state of emergency, which
gives police extra powers to conduct searches and place people under house
arrest, runs until 26 May. The state of emergency was last extended for
three months in February.
As you might know, the Stade de
France football stadium, which was targeted by suicide bombers, will host the
opening match of Euro 2016 and the final.
What interested me most was that the French government
instruct 1,200 security officials to care for safety in the Stade de France
football stadium and an average of 900 across all stadiums.
What shocked me most was that on Friday last week more
than 3,500 searches and 400 arrests had been carried out since the state of
Emergency was first imposed in November.
What do you think about the safety measures in France?
See you later alligator
