Macron is trying to control the youth rebellion
In order to meet with MPs who requested him to impose a curfew following protests against the assassination of a young man by a policeman, French President Emmanuel Macron postponed an official visit to Germany.
The suspension of the official visit coincided with the funeral of a 17-year-old boy who was shot by a police officer in France because he disobeyed orders. But according to President Emmanuel Macron, the law will be on the side of the accused police officer.
The president will meet with legislators who want to impose traffic limits in the major French cities where the disturbances are more violent, according to a statement released by the Parisian government. Then, in an effort to put out the cold water situation, he will meet with a few mayors.
More than 45,000 riot police officers have been deployed around France since the community took to the streets in response to the shooting of this young guy, and more than 1,300 individuals have been detained.
