evidence: France is a target for Islamist attacks due to its leadership role in campaigns against the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda in Africa and its large, relatively marginalized Muslim community. The French labor sector is prone to strikes and the threat of shutting down the Olympics increases their bargaining power. [...] France has taken extensive measures to improve its counter-terrorism capabilities in response to the various terrorist attacks it has faced in recent years. These efforts have resulted in a significant enhancement of its intelligence agencies and security forces, which have effectively prevented major terrorist attacks directed by foreign entities since the 2015 Paris attacks by the Islamic State. The robust security presence in Paris and across the country is expected to diminish the potential for sophisticated, largescale attacks during upcoming events. To this end, 20,000 soldiers will be deployed across the country, along with 40,000 police and gendarmes.
