(VOVworld) - French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday threatened to ban protests, as a result of a series of Paris demonstrations a day earlier to protest at labor reforms that the government planned to push forward.

Because France is hosting the Euro football tournament and is faced with terrorism, demonstrations can no longer be authorised if property, people, and public property cannot be safeguarded, he said.

Earlier Prime Minister Manuel Valls vowed to continue with the labor reforms despite the protests of the last 3 months. He called on France’s main trade union, the CGT, not to organize similar demonstrations.
