Speaking on France 2 on Saturday September 9, the French Minister expressed his deep-seated concerns about the evolving security dynamics.<\/p>\n
He cited the dwindling Western military footprint in key regions as a critical factor exacerbating the return of a “projected threat.”<\/p>\n
Darmanin said: “What is happening in Afghanistan, what is happening in the Levant, what is happening in Africa, is replenishing the money, the resources to carry out a projected threat.”<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he sought to reassure the public, asserting that France remains vigilant and proactive in averting large-scale attacks akin to the tragic Bataclan incident.<\/p>\n

We stop an attack every two months in France.”<\/p>\n He referred to a “very strong” terrorist threat, and pointed out that “5,800 people were on the files of the Ministry of the Interior who (the authorities) think could carry out a terrorist act”.<\/p>\n In addition to these internal challenges, Minister Darmanin acknowledged the presence of an “ultra-right” threat, comprising individuals of supremacist ideologies. He revealed that French authorities are closely monitoring several dozen individuals from this extremist faction.<\/p>\n
