PARIS, Sept 13 — A former security advisor of French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at a Paris court today to go on trial accused of roughing up May Day protesters in 2018, in what triggered the first major political crisis of Macron’s mandate.

The trial, which takes place just months before the 2022 presidential election, will bring the spotlight back on a case that was for months a major headache for Macron, accused of being too slow to deal with a member of his inner circle. The video showed Benalla manhandling protesters during a police-led crowd control operation. While allowed in as an observer, he ended up taking part in the operation, wearing police-marked clothing. He has admitted to “making a mistake”, but said he just wanted to help police and did nothing illegal.
