French Defense Minister Catherine Colonna stated on Tuesday that France will use the right to self-defense. This was reported by Franceinfo. According to the minister, this right will be applied in case of a repetition of attacks similar to the one that occurred in the city of Arles in the south of the country. It was previously reported that a 17-year-old teenager attacked a police officer with a knife. The authorities are considering this incident as a terrorist act. Colonna emphasized that France will not allow such events to happen again.
