On March 17, a group of 50 individuals attacked a police station in a Paris suburb, injuring two officers with fireworks, projectiles, and Molotov cocktails. The incident, believed to be linked to the recent death of a young man after a police chase, has heightened the sense of insecurity in the area.

Despite the swift apprehension of suspects, policy analyst Céline Pina criticizes the limited legal actions taken against the attackers, reflecting broader social and security challenges in the region. Since last year’s riots, similar incidents have occurred across France, with hundreds of police stations attacked and officers injured.
