Descent of the Champs Elysées of President Emmanuel MACRON during the 14/07/2018
You
may have noticed a large number of motorcyclists during the movements
of presidential cars and this, from 1935. The reason is an immediate
protection against the risk of a terrorist act or of an unbalanced
person who would approach the Presidential Car. In fact, the
assassination of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia in FRANCE, in the city
of MARSEILLE, on October 09, 1934, showed the risk of bad protections
around the Car.
Departure of the car of King Alexander 1st of Yugoslavia in the streets of Marseille on 09/10/1934
Back on this assassination to understand:
It
was agreed that King Alexander 1st of Yugoslavia parade, before leaving
by train to PARIS, in several streets of MARSEILLE, on board a car with
the back opened to be seen by the crowd, but also by the reporters,
photographers and cameramen.

Initially
planned with an escort of policemen on bicycles around the car, it was
decided that two officers, with clear swords, would escort the car...

But
hardly had he gone 200 meters, when a man came out of the crowd and
fired a dozen bullets inside the King's Car killing him on the spot and
mortally wounding the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Louis BARTHOU.

When
the cameramen are filming, the shooter has already fired. The officer
on horseback on the right will arrive too late. Only the driver of the
car on the right will have time to hold the shooter from inside the car
as can be seen on this picture...

The officer will still shoot the gunman.

But
it was too late. Armed with a MAUSER semi-automatic pistol of 10 shots,
this one allowed the assailant to shoot in burst in the car...

At that time, there were important risks of attack against this King...
Several mistakes were made:
1- A convertible car was easier for a killer to aim at his target
2-
The windows of the car were lowered, which allowed the assailant to
climb on the running board of the car and to spray the back of the car
with his 10-shot pistol more easily...
3- Twelve police cyclists were supposed to surround the car and were replaced by two officers on horseback...
Here is a video of the time presenting this drama.

The
principle of the motorized escort is to create a protective bubble
which allows to adapt the speed of the motorcycle of escort to avoid any
intrusion of a pedestrian in contact with the escorted car and thus to
make a rampart between the aggressor and the VIP.
The
threat can, for several years, arrive from the air with one or more
drones, as seen above in this video during a speech by a Venezuelan
president in 2018. For this measures are taken in advance with jammers and observers.
