Dozens of people have been arrested in France for wanting to disrupt the Olympic Games, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Monday.
Security forces arrested nearly 50 people, Darmanin told the France 2 television channel. They had wanted to carry out "sabotage actions or radical protests" during the first Olympic competitions, but authorities prevented this, he said, DPA reported.
The newspaper Le Parisien reported that 45 members of the radical environmental movement Extinction Rebellion had been arrested. They had planned actions to protest against the social and ecological consequences of the Olympics.
The newspaper Le Figaro reported that an ultra-left-wing activist was arrested on Sunday in Oissel, about 121 kilometers north-west of Paris.
