French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin and French President Emmanuel Macron are seen during a visit on the theme of the"learning summer camps" at Chambord castle, France, on Jul 22, 2020. NICE, France: France's new interior minister sought on Thursday to project a tougher stance on security after a shooting this week in a suburb of the Riviera city of Nice, saying the country would not bow to criminal violence.

"Those who want to make the Republic bow down will pay the price," Darmanin told reporters, echoing a similar response by Sarkozy when he was interior minister almost 15 years ago. Macron, who faces a presidential election in less than two years, has been criticised by opponents over crime and public safety since he took power in 2017 and opinion polls show that the public see his government as weakest on those issues.Prime Minister Jean Castex, who will also go to Nice at the weekend, promised concrete measures after what he called"unacceptable" acts.
