The authorities are beginning to have an idea of ​​the damage caused by the riots following the death of young Nahel, killed by a policeman in Nanterre on June 27. Nearly 80 post offices “could not reopen due to destruction or risks to staff and customers present,” La Poste said on Tuesday. Among them, establishments in Poitiers, Rouen and Lyon in particular, said La Poste.

Of the 7,000 post offices present on the national territory, 150 were “impacted” and 80 La Banque Postale ATMs were “destroyed”. “The damage is sometimes very significant since certain establishments have been set on fire resulting in the destruction of the letters and parcels present”, further indicated La Poste.
