Laurence Ruffin, the mayor of Grenoble, has been meeting with local officials, high school students, and merchants in the city. These meetings are aimed at addressing concerns about potential unrest following recent events.

Ruffin's political background

Ruffin was elected mayor in the spring as part of a coalition that brought together left-wing and ecological groups. She emphasized that she is focused and ready to handle the current situation, despite the long hours she has been working.

Preparations for the mobilization

In several cities, including Grenoble, Paris, Angers, and Charleville-Mézières, local officials are preparing for a planned mobilization on Saturday, October 24. Their goal is to ensure the event proceeds smoothly and safely.

Concerns about potential consequences

There is widespread concern that if the mobilization fails again, it could lead to more severe consequences. Officials are working to prevent this outcome and maintain public order.
