Macron. Radical far-left wants to "overthrow the Republic"
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned acts of violence by extreme-left groups, accusing them of attempting to overthrow the Republic. Following disturbances during protests against living costs, Macron announced increased security measures and restrictions on future demonstrations. Thousands have been detained, with hundreds incarcerated, as investigations continue into the events of October 17. Macron emphasized the need for dialogue with various organizations to address legitimate demands, particularly from youth. The security presence will be increased by 20% for upcoming protests, including military reinforcements and elite police units to protect public buildings and tourist sites.
