'I will never accept violence,' Macron says after Paris protests

French President Emmanuel Macron vowed Saturday never to accept violence after protests against him in Paris triggered by fuel price hikes turned violent.

"I will never accept violence," Macron told a news conference at a Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires amid the massive "yellow vest" demonstrations.

"No cause justifies that authorities are attacked, that businesses are plundered, that passers-by or journalists are threatened or that the Arc du Triomphe is defiled," he said.
