The French custom of burning the New Year's Eve cars shows no sign of being extinguished, with authorities reporting that over 1000 vehicles were destroyed this week The night was also marked by three shots fatal knife.
The tradition of New Year's Eve cars burn in some dilapidated areas of French cities is alive, with Interior Minister Manuel Valls the reporting country that over 1000 vehicles were destroyed in the annual orgy of vandalism this year.
Valls released figures for the number of cars burned on the eve of the New Year for the past two years as part of his attempts to demonstrate full transparency about levels of crime and criminality in the country.
Although 1,067 vehicles were torched, Valls, which mobilized 53,000 police to maintain order throughout the country on the eve of New Year, is pleased to announce that the figure represented a decrease of the total last year 1193.
He acknowledged, however, that this total - registered 18 hours between Eve and 17 pm the next day - was too high.
The region that has seen north of Paris, where 80 vehicles were destroyed overnight the most cars will go up in smoke was the private department of Seine-Saint-Denis.
The authorities stopped publishing official figures the number of cars burned after it was discovered that the distribution by district supplied the destructive competition between rival gangs.
Overall, it was said Valls positive if the owners of hundreds of burned cars will agree, is another matter.
The custom to put the vehicles land on New Year's Eve would begin to the east around Strasbourg, in the 1990s, in the poorest areas of the city.
He was then quickly adopted by young people in cities across the country.
Nor is this just a New Year's tradition, often with cars burned whenever there is an outbreak of social unrest, as seen in the 2005 riots, when hundreds of vehicles were burned.
The celebrations to mark New Year's Eve, as New Year's Eve is known in France, was also marred by three stab wounds, one that took place on the ro Trocad, near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
A-31 was also killed in Grenoble and a man aged 45 was stabbed to death in Dannemarie, in southern Alsace.
No effort will be spared to ensure that the perpetrators of these cowardly and heinous crimes are found and brought to justice, said Wednesday Valls.
The village of Rians in Var, southern France was also hit by tragedy when three young people died after part of their deaths could have been caused by poisoning carbon monoxide in the house where they were being to sleep.
On the roads, which had mobilized 16,000 police to crack Valls against drunk driving, there were three deaths and 129 people were injured.
Overall, there were 322 arrests, which Valls ASK the responsiveness of the police.
