PARIS (Reuters) – France’s inside minister mentioned on Tuesday he had requested native prefects to ban all ultra-right demonstrations after authorities had been criticized for permitting a march of far-right activists in Paris over the weekend.
“We are going to let the courts resolve if case-law permits these demonstrations,” Gerald Darmanin informed the Nationwide Meeting.
The rally on Saturday by far-right extremists wearing black drew criticism at a time when authorities have clamped down on folks banging pots and pans and heckling authorities members in protests towards President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform that raises the retirement age by two years to 64.
The march on Saturday in Paris noticed a number of hundred males from far-right teams march with flags and chant slogans to commemorate the loss of life of a far-right activist, Sebastien Deyzieu, in 1994.
