The demonstration Saturday in Paris of several hundred ultra-right activists, which had not been banned, aroused sharp criticism on the left and a rain of criticism. The Paris police prefecture justified in a long statement the non-ban of the ultra- right demonstration.
Since the adoption of the controversial law on pensions, bans on demonstrations have multiplied in France to avoid "breaks" against President Emmanuel Macron and members of the government. The prefect of police said he had "seized without waiting the prosecutor of Paris" on the fact "that individuals, most. demonstrated the face concealed", which constitutes an offense.
