On Tuesday, the French president visited the suburb of Bobigny northeast of Paris to discuss the fight against radical Islamism, reports Retuers.
- Several concrete measures have been taken in recent days against organizations, associations and individuals who promote radical Islamist projects.
We will not let them continue, Macron said after the meeting to reporters on the spot.
Among other things, the government has decided to dissolve the local group Cheikh Yassine, who according to Macron was involved in Friday's attack.
- Our citizens must be protected.
Citizens whose religion is Islam must be protected from the evil that is "radical Islam".
- The intention with these ideologues is precisely to turn some of our citizens towards the republic.
And we will not allow that, Macron said.
