Macron vows to use ‘all means’ to restore calm
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench President Emmanuel Macron is promising “all means” will be used to restore calm after the disruptive protests that have deeply shaken the nation.
Macron is addressing France for the first time since anti-tax protests around the country turned into rioting in Paris.
Trying to sound gentle and calming, Macron acknowledges “anger and indignation” among members of the public over the cost of living.
But he also says “no indulgence” will be given to people behind the protest violence.
He says “no anger justifies” attacking police or looting stores, saying both threaten France’s cherished liberty.
