Not with the context provided litteraly the sentence before:

The shocking death came amid warnings of rising violence against France’s mayors, many of them from small rural villages. France has around 36,000 mayors. According to a recent poll, the number of verbal and physical attacks against them rose by 15 per cent last year after a record 32 per cent rise the previous year.

But thank god they're making an effort to pretect the powers that be while throwing the rest of us under the bus.
