France: government expenditure on public order and safety

In 2020, the French general government had spent more than 40 billion euros on public order and safety, while the European Union had spent more than 243 billion. In both cases, this is a substantial increase since 1995, when the EU's expenditure was less than 102 billion euros, and France's was about 18.2 billion euros.
