And I say this very clearly, because they change the way young people relate to reality,” Macron said at a gathering at the Elysée Palace with some 250 mayors of cities targeted during the riots.“And [we need to think about] the decisions we make, including administrative decisions, when things get out of hand, so that at some point we can say we’re in a position to regulate or cut them off. It’s important not to do it in the heat of the moment, and I’m glad we didn’t have to, but it’s a real debate we need to have when things cool down,” he added. French news chann...
