️🇫🇷 French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the "political and even rebellious acts carried out by organized extreme left groups whose aim is to overthrow the Republic", after violence at rallies last Saturday.

According to him, there were several thousand police arrest warrants and several hundred people were imprisoned, adding that the Minister of Justice demanded the maximum severity.

"Following what happened last Saturday, the judicial system is also working and mobilizing. There were several thousand people taken into police custody, and obviously several hundred people were imprisoned.

All this continues and the work will continue. When the time comes, details will be provided regarding both the profiles of the suspects and the next steps, but the Minister of Justice has rightly demanded the utmost severity from the prosecution, and everyone of course understands the importance of the response; Accordingly, more in-depth investigations are being conducted regarding the most sophisticated actions that took place, because last Saturday we witnessed political and even rebellious acts carried out by organized extreme left groups with the aim of overthrowing the Republic - let's be clear:.

This is what they themselves admit, in extreme danger, with a high degree of violence, and with careful planning; And besides, criminal acts towards them we must also take the toughest position possible, even though they are not of the same nature. Faced with this, as you understand, our determination is absolute, and we are carrying out a plan - as I said on Sunday evening - which includes restoring order, curfews, prohibitions and the steps we will take going forward; I will return to this, as well as to the work that is being done with political and labor organizations, as it should be.

Yesterday the Prime Minister, accompanied by the relevant ministers, met with the labor unions. We will be meeting this afternoon with political leaders, as well as some mayors. We will also visit the affected areas tomorrow at the government's request."
