Macron outlines measures to stop violence
In his statement, President Macron also said that:
- more police would be deployed on the streets
- parents should keep their children at home, saying it was not the responsibility of the state, but that of parents to keep their children away from the riots
- social networks had their part to play in inflaming violence, by facilitating the organisation of protests and leading to violence being repeated; and there would be requests for the “most sensitive” content to be removed
