France will ban "illegitimate" protests nationwide, as announced by President Emmanuel Macron. Organized protests will have designated routes. Macron attributed recent violent riots to extreme left groups and vandals. A defense council meeting will be held to discuss security measures ahead of planned protests this weekend. The main student union has called for demonstrations, while the Yellow Vests movement seeks to march in Paris. Lyon's prefecture has already banned protests due to recent events. The police will be reinforced by the military for a large-scale security operation.
