French President Macron to Address Nation After Violent Protests Ahead of Elections
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to deliver a televised address following violent nationwide protests marked by clashes, arson, and looting. The unrest, blamed by ministers on "ultra-left" groups, comes six months before the presidential election and follows weeks of student demonstrations. Macron's address will follow a ministerial meeting and precede his trip to four Gulf Arab countries amid a Middle East conflict that has contributed to rising fuel prices and inflation, factors fueling the protests.
