France's prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, says police will be deployed in large numbers in French cities next weekend. His announcement points to a substantial security presence, but the short statement did not identify the events that prompted it. No staffing figures, list of participating cities, or details of the police units involved were supplied. Authorities gave no evidence of a specific threat in the information released. Lecornu's published remarks stop before he explains the scope of the deployment. There was no information on arrests, planned restrictions, or expected crowd sizes. The deployment had not yet taken place when the report was published.
