AFP (Agence France Presse) just said that the speech Macron was scheduled to give this evening was to be the most important of his career. Was to deal with the Yellow Vest movement. Caught it live, so I don't have a clip of it. Earlier, AFP said many of the most important artworks and relics were carried out to safety, including a relic of the Crown of Thorns. Interestingly, they also said earlier that the government of France owns all the Catholic churches and cathedrals. Wonder about the mosques?
