Emmanuel Macron will receive on Tuesday the mayors whose cities have experienced incidents in recent nights. The president announced it this Sunday evening during a meeting at the Élysée devoted to urban violence. In addition to the head of government Élisabeth Borne, the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin and the Keeper of the Seals Éric Dupond-Moretti, were also around the table Bruno Le Maire (Economy), Olivia Grégoire (Trade), Christophe Béchu (Cohesion of territories) and Olivier Klein (City).
According to a participant, the Head of State, who had a telephone conversation in the afternoon with Vincent Jeanbrun, whose family was targeted in L’Haÿ-les-Roses, intends to receive “220 mayors of the municipalities abuses of the last days”. “He plans to give them a lot of time,” the same source continues. “We must first qualify the events before drawing conclusions,” argued Emmanuel Macron before his ministers.
During this meeting which lasted nearly an hour and a half, Emmanuel Macron also announced that he would meet with Yaël Braun-Pivet and Gérard Larcher this Monday. He also asked the Prime Minister to receive the presidents of groups in Parliament.

The meeting had started with “a precise update on the number of arrests, referrals”, according to a present. Emmanuel Macron asked his ministers to “do everything to restore order and guarantee a return to calm”. Another instruction: “The government must continue to be alongside our police officers, gendarmes, magistrates, clerks, firefighters, elected officials, mobilized day and night for five days. »
From the start of the day, Emmanuel Macron had given his instructions to the government: to beware of any triumphalism and to maintain the same level of mobilization of the police, even if the night from Saturday to Sunday was “quieter”, according to the very expression of Gérald Darmanin. At midday, the prefect of police of Paris, Laurent Nuñez, guest of BFM Politique in partnership with our newspaper, had underlined that if there had been less degradation, we could however “not yet speak of a decline” .
The president, under very high pressure, knows very well that the situation is as unstable as it is explosive. At the top of the state, it is estimated that it will take another, or even two nights, to see a real trend.
