French government backs down on Paris protest ban | Reuters
 

PARIS France's government said on Wednesday that trade unions could hold a protest march in Paris after earlier telling police to ban the demonstration, reversing course under fire from union bosses and dissenters in the ruling Socialist Party. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he had personally ordered the ban but then decided to allow Thursday's protest against plans to loosen labour laws after an emergency meeting with the unions. "** violence will be tolerated," said Cazeneuve.
