Social protests: In Marseille, Emmanuel Macron admits state failures

Emmanuel Macron visited Marseille on October 26 to address unrest following protests on October 17. The visit aimed to restore trust in the state but was brief and did not include direct interaction with residents. Macron acknowledged the government's failure to foresee the unrest and called for a response to the underlying social issues. Amid ongoing protests, he canceled a trip to Nigeria and Senegal to focus on the crisis. His previous comments on the legitimacy of protests faced criticism.
