A state of emergency was declared during the 2005 riots, which followed the deaths of Zyed and Bouna. The two teenagers were electrocuted in a transformer while trying to escape the police in Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis).
Several voices are raised to claim it on the side of the Republicans and Reconquest! Thursday evening, the president of the Republicans (LR), Éric Ciotti, had asked that the state of emergency be triggered “without delay” where incidents broke out after the 17-year-old was killed by a police officer following a refusal to comply. The president of Reconquête!, Éric Zemmour, made a similar request. For him, “Only firmness can bring order and peace”. Pierre-Henri Dumont, spokesperson for the Republicans in the National Assembly and deputy secretary general of the party, estimated on Thursday June 29 on franceinfo that the triggering of the state of emergency would “to restore order” and set up “curfews for minors unaccompanied by an adult in authority”.
