Faced with the French military offensive in Mali, the Vigipirate plan was reinforced on French territory. How do the French feel about the implementation of this plan and are there any particular fears? Example in the streets of Nice and Paris, with an interview with Pascal GILLI, police major in Nice, and a sidewalk in Paris in front of the department stores.
The day after the RER B attack at Port-Royal station in Paris, the Vigipirate plan was reactivated. The army and the police are mobilized in sensitive places, in Paris as in provinces: monuments, Gare du Nord in Paris, Franco-Belgian border, shopping center in Bordeaux, Nice airport, Franco-Italian border, Gare de la Part-Dieu in Lyon, Gare SaintCharles in Marseille. With interviews with Roland BONNEPART, SNCF Director Paris-Nord region, and Lieutenant-Colonel DINTINGER (4th Regiment of Engineering) in Lyon.
Focus on the new Vigipirate plan, adopted at a Defence Council meeting the day before. It consists of 76 pages that accurately describe the new measures put in place, including the introduction of alert levels. The current "Risk Attack" mobilizes 120,000 police, gendarmes and military. The maximum threshold is "Emergency Attack", following a terrorist attack and which provides for the closures of institutions and public places. Explanations and interview with Louis GAUTIER, Secretary General of Defence and National Security.
In anticipation of possible terrorist attacks on French soil, the Ministry of the Interior has implemented the Vigipirate plan, on the eve of the likely outbreak of the Gulf War, which opposes Iraq to an international coalition led by the United States. The measures in this plan concern all high-risk public places but also sensitive companies related to defence or the oil industry. Examples with the Prefecture of Police of Paris, Place Beauvau (Ministry of the Interior), the nuclear power station of Nogent-sur-Seine, the oil refinery of the pond of Berre near Marseille, a Parisian synagogue. Interviews with Pierre JOXE, Minister of the Interior, and a faithful in a synagogue.
First day of the Gulf War. Three hours after the beginning of the war, the Vigipirate plan entered phase 2 on French territory, with reinforced surveillance at the borders, airports, stations and public places. Paris was crisscrossed by fear of terrorist attacks, as were Lille, Paris airports, embassies and ministries, department stores, strategic sites such as the Gravelines nuclear power station, border crossings.
