Macron bans ‘illegitimate‘ protests in France as he tries to get a grip on unrest
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported56m ago
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a ban on unauthorized or "illegitimate" protests following days of widespread violence, rioting, and looting across France. The unrest has been fueled by growing public anger over the cost of living and deteriorating public services.
In response to the demonstrations, authorities are implementing a strict enforcement approach. President Macron is set to determine concrete next steps regarding upcoming demonstrations called for Saturday and beyond. The government's hardline response has also led to the fast-tracking of French rioting cases, resulting in legal fallout that includes frustrated lawyers and bewildered defendants.
