Macron says France generally advises against demonstrations in coming days after unrest, while allowing union marches with possible rerouting

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that the government generally recommends against demonstrations in the coming days, particularly on Saturday, after last weekend’s unrest. He spoke following a security meeting.

Macron said demonstrations organized by groups such as trade unions would be allowed to proceed, but authorities could divert them onto alternative routes to protect businesses.
