According to French media reports, French President Emmanuel Macron, who is visiting the Gulf region, told the media in Doha, Qatar on the 21st that the French government will severely punish those who take the opportunity to disrupt the demonstrations and resolutely prevent such situations from happening again. At the same time, he denounced the false statements made by some foreign leaders. Regarding the new round of demonstrations expected to be held on the 24th, Macron said that the government will adopt a “firm” attitude and “use all available legal means” to avoid a repetition of the situation where the demonstrations led to riots on the 17th. He said that there is no need to declare a state of emergency in the current situation, and the government will take the reasonable demands of protesters, especially those of young people, seriously, but there is no legitimacy for any form of violence.
