French President Emmanuel Macron will address the nation Sunday evening following widespread protests across France on Saturday. The announcement from the Elysée Palace comes as the government faces mounting pressure from opposition groups and local mayors regarding its handling of the demonstrations. Macron will meet with Prime Minister and relevant ministers at the Elysée Palace earlier Sunday afternoon to discuss the situation. International media have expressed astonishment at the scenes unfolding, describing them as chaotic. The protests reflect a growing sense of “generational anger” and some observers suggest the beginning of the end for Macron’s era. Details regarding the specific causes and scope of the protests are still emerging.
