Following a meeting with ministers and intelligence officials, French President Emmanuel Macron announced strict security measures, including the prohibition of protests deemed illegitimate. Macron accused far-left groups of organizing subversive actions aimed at undermining the Republic, emphasizing that restoring public order remains the main priority. Authorities have banned demonstrations in several cities, including Marseille, Lyon, Grenoble, Rouen, Le Havre, and Toulon, while suspending public transport in these areas. In Paris, the police have restricted protesters to specific routes, barring access to the city center. Meanwhile, the 'Yellow Vests' movement has rejected these government restrictions, as President Macron prepares to lead a defense council meeting to address the ongoing situation.
