I'll be in France, and Spain soon, my contacts in both countries haven't mentioned anything other than more police at airports and public transport centres, they're not feeling pressured or threatened at all. Same in Germany.
Incidentally I've not long come home from Chile, highly socialistic country, one where a few decades ago the police were to be feared. This trip and on my previous one last year, the Carbineri were approachable, unfailingly helpful, friendly and polite. As they should be, quite a change.
