Following criticism over the authorisation of a white supremacist rally in Paris over the weekend, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin has asked police chiefs to ban far-right extremist demonstrations in France, leaving it up to the courts to decide whether or not they should be allowed.
Facing questions from parliament on Tuesday, Darmanin said police authorisation of an annual Paris rally to commemorate the 1994 death of a far-right militant Sébastien Deyzieu was "unacceptable".
