France bans all non-union demonstrations

France has banned all non-union demonstrations amid heightened police alert, with President Macron citing threats from far-left groups aiming to destabilize the Republic. In response to anticipated protests, only union-organized events will be permitted, and police will adjust routes to protect commercial areas and political centers. Macron condemned recent violent acts and emphasized the need for public order. While some groups, like the yellow vests, may still participate in union-led protests, authorities believe this allows for better control. The situation remains fluid, with potential spontaneous demonstrations posing risks of violence. Prime Minister Lecornu has consulted party leaders about ongoing security measures and upcoming presidential campaign strategies.
