Emmanuel Macron acknowledged on Monday, October 19, “failures in anticipation and intelligence” in managing recent protests in France, which were marked by significant violence over the weekend.
The French president called on police forces to adapt their methods to better handle the “troublemakers” disrupting the demonstrations.
Despite these implicit criticisms, the Élysée Palace stated that Macron refused the resignation of his Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, who is facing strong political pressure following these events.
