Flaws in French security services dealing with far-left protesters, says justice minister

​This weekend's ‌rioting in France ​highlighted failings with ‌the security services over how they deal with ‌threats posed by far-left ‌protesters, said Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin. Darmanin said the ⁠security ​services ⁠were very good in dealing ⁠with threats from terrorists ​and organised crime groups, but ⁠less so regarding ⁠such ​far-left protesters.

"Clearly, it is not ⁠tackling the far-left effectively," Darmanin ⁠told ⁠France 2 TV.
