Emmanuel Macron compared, Wednesday in the Council of Ministers, the violence "whatever the cause" to a "process of decivilization", according to a participant in the meeting. This expression is intended as a "challenge to society" on itself, because "politics is not the only one responsible", explained a close friend of the head of state.

Emmanuel Macron is due to travel Thursday to Roubaix (North) to pay tribute to three young police officers killed in a collision Sunday.
