PARIS (AP) — Pressure mounted on French President Emmanuel Macron to announce concrete measures to calm protests marked by violence when he addresses the nation Monday evening, and breaks a long silence widely seen as aggravating a crisis that has shaken the government and the whole country.
The president will consult in the morning with an array of national and local officials as he tries to get a handle on the ballooning and radicalizing protest movement triggered by anger at his policies, and a growing sense that they favor the rich.
Macron will speak from the presidential Elysee Palace at 8 p.m. (1900 GMT), an Elysee official said. The official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

I hope he consults his grandmother, er...wife for some wisdom before the speech.
Will he go on and on about the dangers of Global Warming ,LOL
“You are all a bunch of bitter clingers!!!!!”
Maybe he will tell the French people to put on a sweater,Macron,the Jimmy Carter of France;)
“...and a growing sense that they favor the rich”

They just had to get that in there to explain the unrest.
My prediction is that he will first try to rally the people together, then he will crack down a bit, after that he will pout, and finally he will resign in disgrace. It’s the French way of doing things.
He will tell them that he heard them. What he won’t say is that the gas tax stop is only temporary and they will slyly stick it in later.
It’s rather bizarre how Europe manages to inflict such self-destructive policies on itself without the spectre of racial politics that exists here in the US. I know they have, especially in the UK, a greater class-conscious Marxist history, but still...
“breaks silence”
What does that mean?
Did his mommy had a gag in his mouth?
all for show.
His live-in Mommy gives him direction.
I was going to post a snarky comment along those lines, but you got there first. His choice of Mrs was the first sign that Macron was creep. Any guy who marries a woman 25 years his senior is either (1) a pervert; (2) a gigolo; or (3) gay.
Is there an over/under line on Macron’s ouster?
I was thinking the muzzies would be the ones to get to him first...
"Arbeit macht frei" before handing the podium over to Frau Merkel?
Or "Aloha Snackbar" before handing it over to "youths" ?
He's going to Disneyland Park in Paris to surrender after the fireworks show.
Personally rooting for a live-on-TV suicide.
A modern day Harold and Maude. Remember that movie?
Won’t work.
He’s probably on the phone with Al Gore;)
