After the beating of three plainclothes police officers at La Guillotière, in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon, this Wednesday evening, security is increased in the neighborhood.

At the request of the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, the prefect of the Rhône, Pascal Mailhos, announced that police operations there would be reinforced.

“No violence against law enforcement can go without a strong and immediate response,” he said on Twitter.

"No lawless zone will be tolerated," confirmed Gérald Darmanin, also on Twitter.

“The police intervene every day in this district where the majority of the inhabitants wish to live without the thugs who rot the life of all.

We will multiply the operations so that force remains with the law”, he added.
