Emmanuel Macron begins a political response

If the pressure falls a little on the shoulders of the executive, an adviser warned Sunday evening July 2 that there would be no question of a “phew” of relief if this night was calm. The government remains on this crest line between empathy and firmness. The first emergency is the return to order, this is what Emmanuel Macron asked his ministers last night during a meeting at the Élysée. The President of the Republic, for the moment, has not taken the floor in a solemn way.

Emmanuel Macron wishes to take the time to qualify the events

At the Élysée, it is hinted that this could come in a second step, because, as of today, the head of state is also starting a political response. He will soon receive the President of the National Assembly and the President of the Senate, then, tomorrow, 220 mayors who have suffered violence in their communes. According to a participant in the meeting last night, Emmanuel Macron wants to take the time to qualify the events before drawing conclusions. After return to order, now comes the time for dialogue, specifies the journalist from France Télévisions, Anne Bourse.
