The French government admitted Sunday its security measures had been"insufficient" to stem an arson and looting rampage by black-clad anarchists during a"yellow vest" protest along the famous Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Already under political pressure, Macron -- who cut short a skiing trip to rush back to the capital for a crisis meeting late Saturday -- has vowed"strong" action. Clothing outlets Hugo Boss, Lacoste and Celio were also damaged, as well as a bank, a chocolatier and several newsstands. "We should be able to master a situation like the one we have just witnessed," she told Le Parisien newspaper.
Questions will focus on"the means put in place to deal with these disorders" and the resulting downgrade in France's trading situation and"economic attractiveness", the Senate said in a statement Sunday.
