French President Emmanuel Macron is seeking to turn the page on difficult few weeks by doing an interview with the online media outlet Brut, after the government agreed to rewrite a controversial security law that would have criminalized filming the police. This comes as protests against the law intensified when a video showing police beating a black music producer Michel Zecler shocked the nation and its authorities. “This is a ‘media-first’ move for Macron”, FRANCE 24’s Marc Perelman says.
