France's Macron convenes defense council ahead of fresh weekend protests

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday he would convene a meeting of key ministers ahead of weekend demonstrations, after earlier protests descended into some of the country's worst street violence in years.

"A defense council meeting will be convened tomorrow (Friday) under my chairmanship, and we will take further decisions," Macron said, adding that only union-organized protests would be authorized during nationwide demonstrations on Saturday.
