Follow-up to this post
New Year 2025 must have been fun and festive for many in France, but the annual car burning continued as well, for a national total of 874 cars (photo) destroyed. The government (interior ministry) still wants to point out that it could have been worse: for comparison, 2019 saw 1316 cars torched.
Gendarmes, security personnel and firefighters (95,000) were mobilized for duty on New Year's Eve.
Another wet blanket may have toned down the festivity that night. Face masks have been made compulsory again, to combat another variant of Covid-19. People (779) were fined for not wearing one when they went out.
