New measures which promise to be "unpopular".
As the second wave of Covid-19 continues to hit France, Emmanuel Macron is due to speak at 8 p.m., Wednesday, October 28.
In a televised address, the French president will announce new restrictive measures to deal with the pandemic.
Upstream, the meetings followed one another.
Two defense councils were held in 48 hours.
Meetings between Jean Castex and the political leaders, then the social partners, in order to "consult" them on "the envisaged hardening", were also organized.
Whatever measures are taken, they will be presented by the head of government on Thursday to parliamentarians and put to a vote.
