French authorities arrested a man for breaking into a railway site Sunday, as the investigation into arson attacks on the nation's train system before the Paris Olympics continues.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said Monday that an 'ultra-left activist' has been arrested after allegedly breaking into a railway site, as a national investigation continues into last week’s arson attacks on train networks that reportedly disrupted travel for nearly a million passengers in France hours before the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Speaking to France 2, Darmanin said the 'acts of sabotage' last week were carried out in a voluntary, very precise manner and demonstrated 'the traditional mode of action of the ultra-left.' 'The question is whether they were manipulated or is it for their own benefit,' Darmanin said. 'What has really interested and worried us is that these are extremely specific locations used for communication,' he added, according to the New York Times.
