Why rue Is Trending Today?

In Aurillac, two companies of CRS were dispatched as reinforcements following a night of unrest, with no incidents reported on Thursday evening. The reinforcements arrived after the previous night's riots, which left eight police officers injured, prompting an investigation. The clashes were reportedly instigated by around 60 activists from the extreme left, causing significant damage to local businesses. The mayor of Aurillac, a member of the PS party, described the events as a "major trauma" for the population, with the prosecutor warning that anyone identified would be brought to trial. The violence occurred during the International Street Theatre Festival, with the festival's security beefed up in response to the incidents.

Ten individuals were convicted, seven years after the rue d'Aubagne tragedy, with sentences including electronic monitoring. Meanwhile, La France Insoumise chose to run independently in Aubagne's municipal elections, despite left-wing unity efforts.

Three coproprietors of a building in Aubagne were sentenced to prison for their role in the 2018 collapse that killed eight people. Families of the victims expressed a mix of relief and disappointment with the verdict, while some relatives of the accused were surprised by the acquittals. The trial was marked by tense moments, including a defendant fainting during the judgment. The case sent a strong message about accountability in construction safety.
