  • Place

The model names places and sections as the sources do; every point comes from Vidik’s register of places and sits at the centre of the named place, not at an exact location. A section is marked on the road itself when the map knows its number (A1, M-17); otherwise it is a dashed line between its ends. A name the register does not recognise is not drawn. Colour shows the event’s severity.

Timeline

  1. Francuski ministar unutrašnjih poslova Laurent Nunez najavio je raspoređivanje 70.000 pripadnika sigurnosnih snaga širom zemlje uoči masovnih protesta najavljenih za subotu, uz upozorenje da će vlasti odlučno reagovati na nasilje i pljačku. Izvori navode da su u gradu Nansiju trgovci već zaštitili izloge i ulaze daskama, dok je dio demonstracija već zabranjen, a skupovi će biti dozvoljeni samo uz prisustvo redara i van lokacija gdje bi moglo doći do nereda.
