Gérald Darmanin went Saturday to Gruson (North) after denying the day before in a statement his arrival in this town where "casserolades" were announced to welcome him. It is by a tweet posted at midday, showing him all smiles with local elected officials cutting a tricolor ribbon, that the Minister of the Interior announced his trip.

"There was never any question that he comes," said the prefecture of Hauts-de-France.
