The “security of the infrastructures” of the 2024 Olympics in Paris has been “slightly reinforced”, assured Monday the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castera after several days of urban violence in several cities of France caused by the death of a young man , killed by a policeman. “In the context of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we have taken measures in recent days to further strengthen the security of infrastructures,” said the minister, on the sidelines of an event on violence in sport. “They were already well protected, with a lot of surveillance and a human presence. It could have been slightly reinforced. The nation is damaged by all this. What is happening is obviously not good for the image of France. There are priorities, the return of republican order, the end of violence,” she added.
