The minister, who spoke on the sidelines of the World Government Summit in Dubai, said a "comprehensive response" to "inequalities" and "injustices" was needed. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which follows several attacks on the homes or offices of members of Macron's Republic on the Move party since the start of the yellow vest protests. Le Maire championed Macron's efforts to transform the economy, while stressing the need to pay more attention "to those who feel marginalized". Macron has made commitments "to a fundamental transformation of the French economic model," Le Maire said. Despite a drop in numbers from the massive turnouts of the first "yellow vest" demonstrations in November, tens of thousands continue to turn out in cities across France to protest Macron's policies.
