French President Emmanuel Macron met at the presidential palace this morning with local and national politicians, union leaders and companies for the event of protests across the country.
He is preparing to be directed at a speech tonight to the French nation, which will be its first public presentation in the last ten days, the AP reported.
Macro is expected to announce a series of measures aimed at reducing taxes and increasing purchasing power for citizens who believe he favours rich people.
The steps the government is considering are lifting overtime taxes, tax cuts and a bonus to low-income workers at the end of the year.
At least 71 people were injured in Saturday's protests in Paris, and 136,000 people protested last week.
Almost 1,000 people are in custody after a protest in France's capital.
