Macron postpones visit to Germany as unrest in France continues

By IBNS
Jul 1, 2023 ..

Paris/Berlin: French President Emmanuel Macron has informed German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier that he will not be able to visit Berlin as scheduled next week due to the ongoing unrest in France (following the killing of a 17-year-old in police firing) , the German Presidency said on Saturday.


Macron's visit was scheduled to take place from July 2-4.

“France's President Macron spoke on the phone today with German President Steinmeier and briefed him on the situation in his country. President Macron has asked that the planned state visit to Germany be postponed,” the statement read.

The visit will be rescheduled as soon as possible, the German president's office added.

“The Federal President regrets the cancellation and has full understanding of the situation in our neighboring country. The Federal President is following the developments with great attention. He hopes that the violence on the streets can be ended as soon as possible and that social peace can be restored,” the office said.

This past Tuesday, 17-year-old Nahel M. was shot dead by a policeman in the Paris suburb of Nanterre after he had refused to comply with police orders during a traffic stop.

The officer who pulled the trigger on the teenager has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and is in custody. The fatal police shooting sparked mass protests across the country.

Macron has already been harshly criticized for leaving France amid protests on Wednesday to attend the concert of British singer Elton John in neighboring Belgium.
