法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周一警告称，下周六仍将是抗议活动中的“高风险日”，工会呼吁于10月31日举行全国动员。
French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Monday that next Saturday would remain a “high-risk day” amid protests, with unions calling for nationwide mobilization on Oct. 31.
马克龙在访问马赛期间对记者表示：“我们知道下周六仍然是高风险日。我们知道11月5日将迎来所有工会参与的全国动员日，随后还有其他周六。”
"We know that next Saturday is still a high-risk day. We know that Nov. 5 will see a day of national mobilization involving all the trade unions, and there are also the other Saturdays ahead," Macron told reporters during his visit to Marseille.
他重申，这种模式每周六持续下去“并非不可避免”，并强调当局将继续组织力量、保护财产、民众和市中心。
He reaffirmed that it was "not inevitable" that such patterns could persist every Saturday, underlining that authorities would continue to organize and protect property, people and city centers.
马克龙补充说，他已要求政府回应“这场社会运动根源中的合理诉求”，并回忆称总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔努将在当天会见高中生群体代表。
Macron added that he had asked the government to respond to the "legitimate demands at the root of this social movement," recalling that Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu would meet representatives of the high school community during the day.
他进一步表示，在勒科尔努计划会面后，将有“重大宣布和进展，旨在立即带来变革并启动极短期内的举措”。
He further signaled "significant announcements and progress aimed at bringing about changes now and launching initiatives in the very short term" after Lecornu's planned meeting.
马克龙补充道：“我们将对工会和雇主组织采取同样的做法，因此所有这些必须逐步恢复常态，并保持尊重。”
“We will do the same with trade unions and employers’ organizations, and so all of this must gradually return to normal, with respect," Macron added.
他进一步承认，10月17日的抗议活动安保力量不足，且相关事件“未被预料到”。“我们未预料到如此多的极左翼团体会在清晨非常早的时候以一种非常不寻常的方式动员起来。（……）我们也未预料到，除了极左翼的动员外，犯罪分子也会加入其中。结果导致警力部署数量不足，”他说。
He further acknowledged that there were not enough security forces at the Oct. 17 protests and the events "had not been anticipated." "We had not anticipated that so many far-left groups would mobilize very early in the morning, in a highly unusual manner. (...) We had also not anticipated that, beyond the mobilization of the far left, criminal elements would join in. As a result, police forces were not deployed in sufficient numbers," he said.
马克龙指出，当局“目前在没有进入紧急状态的情况下维护共和国和公共秩序”，回应了因未宣布紧急状态而受到的批评，并重申当局“严厉且坚定”。
Macron noted that authorities were "currently maintaining the Republic and public order without a state of emergency," rejecting criticism for not declaring the measure and reaffirming that the authorities were "rigorous and firm."
他进一步表示，社交媒体在动员中发挥了作用，并补充说：“社交媒体正在损害我们的民主，因为它们助长两极分化，使人们面对暴力场面时产生一种震惊和瘫痪感。”他进一步表示：“特别是在10月17日，它们被用来将年轻人和年长者带到正在发生犯罪行为、袭击和抢劫的地点，因为社交媒体上的暴力呈现方式使其看起来似乎不真实。”
He further said that social media played a role in the mobilization, adding that "social media are damaging our democracies because they fuel polarization, create a kind of shock and paralysis in the face of scenes of violence." “They were used, particularly on Oct. 17, to bring young people and older people to places where criminal acts, attacks and looting were taking place, because violence on social media is being presented in a way that makes it seem unreal," he further said.
