French Deputies and Senators Reach Agreement on Ripost Citizen Tranquility Bill
On July 20, 2026, French deputies and senators reached a compromise version of the Ripost bill on citizen tranquility in a joint committee, paving the way for final parliamentary adoption on July 21. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced the agreement on social media, praising the majority for enabling more effective sanctions against public order breaches. The compromise was approved 10-2, with the central bloc, right, and far right in favor, while Socialist Party and La France Insoumise deputies opposed. Key measures validated include banning nitrous oxide sales to individuals, creating offenses for organizing free parties, and increasing penalties for urban rodeos. The government suffered a setback when an article strengthening administrative stadium bans was removed. Algorithmic video surveillance in shops was also dropped. The committee reinstated measures previously removed in the Assembly, including increased fixed fines for drug use and retention of video surveillance recordings in custody suites.
