Following the instructions of Emmanuel Macron, who wanted to avoid new scenes of chaos similar to those of 17 October, many prefects banned or drastically restricted the demonstrations scheduled for Saturday in France. The defenders of fundamental freedoms saw it as an attack on the rule of law. France 24 gave an update with Serge Slama, professor of public law.
The various security measures announced by the executive to limit demonstrations on Saturday, some of which should be challenged by the judiciary, show that the notion of individual freedoms has become secondary. This makes the bed for an authoritarian political solution.
The president is cracking down on freedom of assembly. "The recommendation is that no demonstrations should be held at all."
Yesterday, President Emmanuel Macron decided to ban partially or totally a number of demonstrations, while no text - a priori - authorizes it.
The president announced that in the coming days he will ban gatherings reported by unauthorized individuals. Emmanuel Macron claims that "subversive" ultra-left groups and vandals are responsible for last Saturday's events. The French government is bracing for another turbulent weekend.
