Macron announces crisis meeting and consultations after French unrest

Published by · · Toronto

In his October 18 address, Emmanuel Macron announced a prime-minister-led crisis meeting for October 19 to organize support after violence in French cities. He also planned consultations over the coming days with students, teachers, unions, employers and elected representatives, while distinguishing peaceful protesters’ concerns from violent acts.

Why it matters

The address announces a response; it does not establish completed aid payments or consultations.

Emmanuel Macron · A statement by its author; it is not independent confirmation of every claim.
