France Bans Illegitimate Protest Groups as Macron Blames Far-Left for Riots
'Last Saturday we had political and seditious acts by ultra-left groups whose aim is to bring down the Republic,' the French president said.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced that illegitimate protests will be banned in the coming days, attributing recent riots and looting to seditious far-left groups and vandals. He differentiated these from legitimate demonstrations organized by groups like trade unions, which may be rerouted to protect businesses. Authorities are bracing for further protests following significant urban unrest.
