The mayor of Avignon, Olivier Galzi, announced a new decree on Tuesday, September 22, aimed at addressing public order issues in the city, according to ICI Vaucluse. This comes after an earlier version of the decree was suspended by an administrative court on September 11. The initial version, which restricted the prolonged occupation of public spaces, had been in place since August but was halted by the administrative court in Nîmes. The Federation of Solidarity Actors Paca-Corse (FAS), a group representing various social organizations, had previously contested the original decree, arguing it might be a covert way to target homeless individuals or those begging in public. The new decree outlines specific behaviors that are considered disturbances to public order, such as verbal abuse, physical altercations, or throwing objects. It also reduces the number of streets affected from 35 to 25 and limits the days and times the decree is in effect. Galzi has stated that he remains committed to his policy of addressing public order issues on city streets, even after the changes. Despite these adjustments, the FAS and other organizations are still not satisfied with the new decree, claiming it continues to raise legal concerns and questions about how it will be implemented. The federation has asked the mayor to hold a meeting with affected groups, a request that was previously ignored. If no meeting is arranged, the FAS has warned it may pursue legal action through the administrative court. However, the group emphasized that it does not want future interactions to be defined solely by legal challenges and court proceedings.
