France Live: Proscribed Demonstrations, Parties Received in Matignon
Macron said unauthorized marches will be banned and 60,000 security personnel will be deployed after violence exposed gaps in crowd control.
- On Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron chaired a security council to review failures from last weekend's violence and assess arrangements ahead of a feared "Act II" of social mobilization.
- Nearly 60,000 security forces deployed last Saturday failed to prevent widespread vandalism, while authorities acknowledged intelligence services significantly underestimated the mobilization scale, which saw up to 800,000 participants.
- Junior interior minister Jean-Didier Berger announced a 20% increase in law enforcement numbers, with security reinforced by Sentinelle forces and elite units including RAID, GIGN, and the BRI.
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is holding consultations at Matignon to discuss possible changes in public-order policing, though Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella are boycotting while Raphaël Glucksmann confirmed attendance.
- LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard will represent the movement after its leader vowed to "wreck" the meeting, as Macron stated "illegitimate" protests will be banned while unions receive alternative paths to protect businesses.
