“Emergency Attack” Vigipirate: Gabriel Attal declares the commitment of 4,000 additional soldiers

Vigipirate: Gabriel Attal announces the mobilization of 4,000 additional soldiers in response to the emergency attack

\n\nFaced with a terrorist threat that does not weaken, the government spokesperson, Gabriel Attal, announced on Sunday, the mobilization of 4,000 additional soldiers as part of the system Vigipirate.\n\n

Gabriel Attal announces the escalation of the mobilization

\n\nIn a context of growing insecurity, marked by numerous attack alerts, the "attack emergency" level of the plan Vigipirate was triggered. In response to this threat, government spokesperson Mr. Gabriel Attal, announced on the airwaves the mobilization of 4,000 additional soldiers.\n\nThis declaration comes in a particularly tense climate where France is under the threat of terrorist actions. “We are mobilizing all necessary means to ensure the safety of all citizens,” declared Mr. Attal.\n\n

A worrying escalation

\n\nThe “emergency attack” level is only triggered in the most serious situations. The last time this alert level was reached was in 2015, during the Paris attacks. \n\nThe mobilization of these 4,000 additional soldiers is therefore a strong signal sent by the government, testifying to the escalation of the terrorist threat. These soldiers will join the security forces already on the ground to ensure the safety of citizens as much as possible.\n\n

The Vigipirate plan, a response to the terrorist threat

\n\nThe plan Vigipirate is a French security device designed to prevent and protect against terrorist threats. It has three levels of vigilance: vigilance, reinforced security – attack risk and attack emergency.\n\nThe "attack emergency" level is triggered when the attack risk is judged "Strong" or "Very strong", that is to say when there is an imminent threat or the intelligence services hold reliable information which allows portend an imminent attack.\n\nGabriel Attal insists on everyone's vigilance: "We must all be vigilant and responsible. Each of us can be confronted with a threat and must therefore be able to adopt the right reflexes for our own safety and that of others." \n\nThe situation is therefore taken very seriously by the French authorities who remain mobilized in the face of this threat and who will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of all citizens. \n\n
