Security paradox poses conundrum for French governance

by Alix Valenti

France is facing renewed protests over a controversial draft security law which, among other provisions, stipulates that no-one may post, on any platform, videos in which a national security officer may be identified. Following outbreaks of often violent protests during the weekends of 21–22 and 28-29 November over Article 24 of the draft, President Emmanuel Macron announced on 30 November that the article would be redrafted. The rest of the bill – which passed a first parliamentary reading on 24 November, at the same time as further protests were emerging against incidents of alleged police brutality – will remain unchanged, but the government hoped to appease tensions by providing clearer wording for this provision.
