“The Islamist threat remains very high,” he said at a Franceinfo press conference.

He recalled the last three attacks - an attack on a police officer in the city of Rambouillet near Paris, the murder of teacher Samuel Pati and a terrorist attack on a church in Nice.

According to him, the authorities should strengthen the methods of detecting this threat and responding to it.

Earlier, French leader Emmanuel Macron said that France will not surrender in the fight against terrorism.
