Macron says he’ll lift of state of emergency in autumn

French President Emmanuel Macron says he will “this autumn” lift a state of emergency in effect since the jihadist attacks in Paris in November 2015 that killed 130 people.

“I will re-establish the freedoms of the French people by lifting the state of emergency this autumn, because these freedoms are the precondition of the existence of a strong democracy,” Macron says in an address to both houses of parliament.
