Curfew imposed in several communes
A curfew has been imposed in several communes in the region, effective from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., following two nights of roadblocks and violent acts. The curfew applies to both adults and minors in the communes of Schoelcher, Fort-de-France, Lamentin, Saint-Joseph, Ducos, and Le Robert. Prefect announces curfew
The prefect, Etienne Desplanques, announced the implementation of the curfew on Tuesday afternoon, stating that these areas were chosen due to the highest number of interventions. The curfew is set to last for two nights, with the possibility of adjustments in the coming days. Time chosen to avoid economic impact
The time was chosen to avoid penalizing restaurants and to allow them to continue serving customers until a reasonable hour. The measure is intended to help law enforcement prevent disturbances and focus their efforts on essential tasks. Non-compliance carries a fine
Non-compliance with the curfew can result in a fine of 750 euros.
