The vast majority of people in France are at ease with a government
initiative to triple the video surveillance capabilities in the
country, according to a poll by CSA published in Valeurs Actuelles.
73 per cent of respondents support the installation of new cameras,
while 26 per cent oppose it.
In May, centre-right Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) candidate
and former interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy won the presidential
run-off with 53.06 per cent of the vote. Sarkozy appointed François
Fillon—who had been his adviser and presidential campaign
leader—as prime minister.
During his campaign, Sarkozy vowed to take a hard stance against
crime and improve the country’s security situation. In July,
Sarkozy and his aides discussed the possibility of expanding France’s
surveillance system. Government spokesman Laurent Wauquiez said
the president "requested the government to work on this subject
and see how the system can help improve or not safety in France."
