The head of state took such a decision amid protests “yellow jackets.”
The French President condemned the violence shown during the demonstrations. According to Macron, these crimes have no excuses.
He stressed that “we have all seen the game of opportunists who tried to take advantage of the genuine anger… we have seen politicians, whose projects are to undermine the Republic and to arrange anarchy”.
Macron said that many French can separate the anger and resentment, but in fact it was not founded for tax reasons and global reasons.
The French President said he believes the anger is “fair”, but no anger does not justify attacks on police officers and gendarmes, destruction of shops and buildings.
“Our freedom only exists because everyone can Express their opinion, which may not be shared by all, and no one will be afraid of this disagreement,” he said.
The proposed head of the state measures on overcoming of crisis on Tuesday will present to MPs the Prime Minister.
