French President Emmanuel Macron will meet representatives of trade unions, employers’ organisations and associations of local elected officials on Monday, an Élysée Palace source told France 24 reports on Sunday.

Macron will also meet with Senate president Gérard Larcher and National Assembly president Richard Ferrand.

The media report on France 24 says that the  meeting, which will take place at 10 am local time),follows a fourth weekend of violent Yellow Vest riots in which anti-government protesters threw stones, torched cars and vandalised shops and restaurants across the country.

“The president wants to bring together all the political, territorial, economic and social forces at these difficult times for the nation, in order to hear their voices and proposals with a view to mobilise them into action,” the Élysée said.
