The horrible attack in Magdeburg in Germany looms large in people's minds. As the end-of-year celebrations begin this Tuesday evening with the New Year's Eve of Noël, the city of Mulhouse has decided to strengthen the security of its Christmas market.
New devices and more staff
In a press release, the city announces that “municipal services are thus reinforcing the blocking devices (granite blocks or anti-car ram speed bumps) at the main access points around Place de la Réunion. »
The town hall adds that “these devices complement the numerous devices already in place at the various entrances to the pedestrian zone. »
In addition to the Christmas market, other places will be even more secure. “As of Monday, December 23, the State is also strengthening its surveillance system by increasing the number of Sentinels, on patrol in the city center of Mulhouse. »
The market of Colmar was also secured, as the prefect of Haut-Rhin explained to our colleagues at BFMTV. Penetration tests were notably carried out.
As a reminder, on December 20, 2024, a ram car drove into the Magdeburg market at full speed, causing the death of 5 people and injuring more than 200 others, including around 40 serious cases.
