Darmanin did admit that some 490 people were arrested, which amounted to an 11-percent increase from the year before, which led him to conclude that the country's police forces were obviously prepared to maintain law and order -- apparently failing to realize that they would not be needed, or needed in such numbers, if there was less chaos to begin with. "Twitter users mocked Darmanin’s post, pointing out that the country was flooded with 90,000 officers, creating a very costly police state for what should be a festive occasion, and even then, hundreds of vehicles were set on fire and police attacked," ReMix News reported. Though he went on to claim that there were "no notable incidents" across France, the residents of several communities and cities would beg to differ. In Nantes, for instance, rioters set ablaze several cars on New Year's Eve and also attacked police and firefighters with high-explosive fireworks. Many of the attacks were caught on video and posted to social media.Merci aux 90000 policiers et gendarmes engagés la nuit dernière pour le réveillon de la #SaintSylvestre, qui s’est déroulé sans incident notable : ✅Baisse historique de 21% du nombre de véhicules incendiés ✅Augmentation de 11% du nombre d’interpellations pic.twitter.com/qZmRyxQyh2

A translation of the tweet says: "New Year's Eve stirs at #Nantes . After a first car burned in the Halvêque district around 10 p.m., three vehicles were on fire at 11 p.m. opposite the Sillon de Bretagne. Firefighters and police greeted by fireworks mortar fire."La nuit du Nouvel an s’agite à #Nantes.

The tweet, translated, says: "While @GDarmanin is at winter sports in Mayotte, the city of Bordeaux fell into the hands of scum for this night of December 31." The insane globalist leftists are destroying Europe as they are destroying the U.S. Sources include: RMX.news NaturalNews.comPendant que @GDarmanin est au sport d'hiver à Mayotte, la ville de Bordeaux est tombée aux mains des racailles pour cette nuit du 31 Décembre pic.twitter.com/sZNosNFCeu
