Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Francois Hollande says he wants the state of emergency declared after the Paris attacks to last three months, parliamentary sources tell AFP, a move that would cover the upcoming UN climate conference.
“He told us he wanted the state of emergency to last three months,” one of the sources says.
Any extension to a state of emergency beyond 12 days requires parliamentary approval.
