The scale of the French military parade is unprecedented! Macron reviews the military, deploying a total of 130000 police officers and gendarmes | Parade | France
On July 14th local time, the French National Day parade was held on the Champs - É lys é es in Paris. "Morale" has been designated as the theme of this year's military parade. Not long ago, France experienced nationwide riots. In order to ensure safety and stability during the holiday period, the French government has also deployed a large number of police forces throughout the country.
In this National Day parade, France deployed a total of over 5000 pedestrian formations, 68 planes, 28 helicopters, and 157 military vehicles. In addition, new armored vehicles and helicopters have also been unveiled.
French President Macron, accompanied by Chief of Staff Thierry Berkhard, reviewed the military. In order to prevent the recent quelled riots from escalating again and ensure the smooth progress of the National Day parade, the French government has deployed 130000 police officers and gendarmes throughout the country, with an unprecedented scale of vigilance. However, these did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience and participants along the way.
