France will extend its state of emergency measures for a further six months following last week’s terrorist attack in Nice. The extension means that emergency measures will have been in place for more than one year, raising questions about the future of security in France.
Following a vote in the French National Assembly on Wednesday, the state of emergency measures, initially introduced following the Paris terror attacks in November 2015, will remain in place until January 2017, giving police extra powers to carry out searches and place people under house arrest.
The existing state of emergency decree was due to expire next week, however it was extended after the July 14 attack, which saw a truck driver plow through a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84.
