The governors thus retain part of ir powers from state of emergency. They may continue to deny access to certain places and regions to people who are suspected of “disrupting public order or security” for up to 15 days. You can also furr restrict freedom of assembly. In principle, re must be no demonstrations in open air as in state of emergency after dark, in addition, y can prevent assemblies with argument that y “cannot complicate everyday life of citizens in an extreme and unbearable way” .
In addition, security forces may keep suspects in police custody between 48 hours and 12 days. This is longer than before start of state of emergency.

Passports can still be invalidated
This practice seems to go on. The new legal text regulates in detail how judges, security forces or ministry staff can be dismissed. In addition, as during state of emergency, government wants to void passports of those who are dismissed or suspended for terrorist suspects from civil service. The passports of your spouses can also be cancelled.
