This was announced by Acting Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin at a press conference in Paris, where he added that elite units and anti-terrorist groups within the security forces will also be on alert to respond to potential emergencies. Additionally, support will be provided by foreign personnel from countries such as Chile, Finland, Qatar, and Spain.

For the specific case of the opening ceremony, which will be held next Wednesday on the Champs-Élysées, Darmanin reported that a significant security operation involving around 15,000 agents will be in place, according to statements reported by the French news channel BFMTV.

As was the case during the Olympic Games, delegations from countries that may face higher security threats, such as Israel, which will have 27 athletes, 2 referees, and the president of the paralympic committee, will be provided with round-the-clock protection. This surveillance will occur not only during their movements but also within the Paralympic Village itself.

The Interior Minister emphasised that there is no "clear threat" regarding this event, which is expected to be "extremely original". The final stages of the Olympic torch relay will also receive special protection. Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris Games organising committee, welcomed the decision to maintain "the level of mobilisation to ensure the security of the Paralympic flame relay."

Paris hosted the Olympic Games from 26 July to 11 August, and for the opening ceremony along the River Seine alone, the French Government deployed around 45,000 police officers. For the closing ceremony, approximately 2,000 personnel were involved. In total, around 30,000 police officers and gendarmes were responsible for ensuring security each day during the Olympics, with specific operations for events such as the marathon, which passed through the city centre between Paris and Versailles.

The opening ceremony of the Paralympics will take place in the historic Place de la Concorde. "There will be 35,000 spectators, 5,000 athletes, and 170 delegations, with 15,000 seats open to the public at the foot of the Champs-Élysées," explained Darmanin. As it is an outdoor ceremony, a significant security operation will be deployed that day, and movement through the capital will be restricted. This poses a considerable challenge, given that the "return operation" begins that week and that schools in France start the academic year on Monday, 2nd September.
