Not many folks in certain positions using email right now, especially those under scrutiny.

Thanks John, that's what I expected.

[MarKar]

BBC news is stating that the PM has declared a 3 month state of emergency.(10 pm uk time).

[mercury]

Anyone know the implications of this yet?

[Rana]

If you look on the FCO website and look at France, it explains 'State of Emergency'

[BernieTeyze]

But we will have to wait to see how much of this law they will use.

TL;DR

1) Limits on the time people can spend outside, curfews

2) Limits on where and when people can gather and how many

3) Searching persons and their vehicles and houses without a warrant and the ability to take anything as evidence

4) It will be mandatory to carry ID papers on you all the time if you are visiting an area that's not your home town

5) ANY printing press may be banned or will require approval

6) Any voiced broadcast whether it be radio, TV or film will depend on approval

7) Inspection of all theater plays, depending on approval

Rending persons whom may be thought to be harmful for public peace unable to enter or leave certain areas, or settle down

9) Banning or making all public demonstrations in open or closed spaces depend on approval

10) Delaying the firing of workers for 3 months

11) The ability to halt all activities of any foundation on a case by case basis for 3 months

thank you. and this is all based on the 1980 state of emergency, right? not an announcement of what it specifically means for the next three months?

Some idea of what the last one was like.

[mercury]

There is a state of emergency in France (just extended). Erdogan is the difference....

[MarKar]

different circumstances as well mercury.

[Clioman2]

Any idea of the details of the curfews please? Areas affected and times. Holidays booked for August and September but wouldn't be happy having to be back in the hotel at 9pm for instance.

[JohnF]

There is nothing in place as yet, and the likelihood is that any curfews that are imposed will not be in touristic areas. 

The state of emergency may bring a bit of stability in the short term, but no one really knows.  Best advice is to be guided by the FCO web site, and make your own personal decisions based on the circumstances at the time you're due to travel.
