France to deploy 70,000 police for fresh weekend protests

Ada Derana reports that French President Emmanuel Macron tightened restrictions on protests, blaming the hard left for unrest. The report does not specify the measures or when they were introduced.

Lanka Business Online reports that around 550,000 demonstrators took to the streets in protests it describes as largely peaceful. It says Macron called for a distinction between protesters’ demands and people who damaged property or looted.

Lanka Business Online frames the issue around what demonstrators are seeking, but the available report does not detail those demands or say what will happen next.
