Eastern Pyrenees: after a fire started by two teenagers, a mayor imposes a curfew for children under 15

In the French department of Pyrénées-Orientales, Mayor Marie Costa of the Divers Droite party has imposed a curfew for minors under 15 years old, restricting their movement between 11 PM and 6 AM until the start of the school year. This decision follows an incident where two teenagers aged 10 and 13 set fire to a multi-purpose hall known as 'Mille Club des Jeunes,' which was completely destroyed. The mayor criticizes what she calls 'pyromania of ambiance' and points to a lack of family supervision and societal decline. She also highlights the high risk of wildfires due to drought conditions and cites other recent incidents, including tire slashing and fires caused by discarded cigarette butts. Despite previous educational efforts to raise awareness among youth about forest fires, the mayor remains concerned about ongoing risks.
