French President Macron has confirmed a ban on 'illegitimate' protests following weekend riots, signaling a significant tightening of security measures. While labor unions may be offered alternative routes for marches, other activist groups are explicitly targeted for bans to prevent looting and rioting. The broad application of this ban and its impact on civil liberties remain key uncertainties.
