Royal warns..or is this a threat?

"It is my responsibility today to warn people of the risk of his candidacy concerning the violence and brutality that would be unleashed in the country," she said, suggesting that unrest was especially likely in the volatile suburbs that were the site of rioting in 2005.

In my opinion it is a threat. If there are riots Sarkozy is going to have to play hardball to get them under control quickly instead of letting them go on for weeks as before. If this happens and Sarkozy can control the situation with a firm hand and steady leadership, he will go far.
