President Emmanuel Macron has announced that labor unions are permitted to organize marches this Saturday, while other activist groups have been barred from demonstrations, as part of efforts to curb further looting and unrest. The distinction reflects heightened security concerns following recent violent clashes, with authorities seeking to limit public gatherings that could escalate tensions. The decision underscores a targeted approach to managing protests amid ongoing civil unrest. Authorities appear focused on preventing broader disorder while allowing limited expressions of dissent.
