French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed that no specific threats against Pope Léon XIV or the event as a whole had been identified by intelligence services. For the pope’s visit, 14,000 internal security forces were mobilized for the day of his arrival. Nuñez emphasized that, given the current high level of terrorist threat, the vigilance of security forces was at its maximum. The deployment of security personnel would include 14,000 today, 12,000 tomorrow, and additional forces at other locations, including 7,000 at Lourdes and 5,000 at Metz. Nuñez also stated that some dozens of measures had been implemented to prevent known individuals from entering the area around the pope’s visit. These measures, in the form of decrees issued by the interior ministry, target individuals deemed potentially harmful to public order and who can be prohibited from entering areas of major events. He clarified that these measures involved “some dozens of people” and were proposed by intelligence services. These individuals might be known for various reasons, including involvement with radical Islamism, far-left extremism, or far-right extremism. Pope Léon XIV is expected to arrive at Orly airport around 10 a.m. and will then walk from the Boulevard Montparnasse to Place Saint-Michel, starting at 4 p.m. A reinforced security perimeter, including 23 checkpoints and strict screening procedures such as visual inspections, bag searches, and pat-downs, will be in place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nuñez urged the public to comply with these security checks to ensure the safety of the event and all attendees. The heightened security measures reflect the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety of the pope and the public during his visit. The combination of a high threat level and the need to manage large crowds has led to a comprehensive approach to security. Nuñez reiterated that intelligence services were actively monitoring the situation and that all precautions were being taken to prevent any potential incidents.
