Social mobilizations: in Marseille, Emmanuel Macron makes the state's mea culpa

Emmanuel Macron visited Marseille on October 26 to restore confidence in the state following unrest on October 17. The visit was brief and tightly controlled, focusing on "the return of order." Macron acknowledged the government's failure to anticipate the crisis and urged the government to address the legitimate demands behind the social movement.
