The Association of Mayors of France strongly condemned these acts, describing their violence as crossing an unacceptable threshold, especially during demonstrations that had respected public order. The AMF expressed its full solidarity with the mayors, their teams, and the residents and shopkeepers of the affected municipalities, citing Paris, Lyon, Limoges, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Calais, and Grenoble among others.
Following these events, the AMF called on mayors and municipal councils to organize gatherings. In Lespinasse, this call was heeded this Monday, October 19th, with a rally in front of the town hall, allowing elected officials and citizens to show their support.
