“The state of emergency cannot be permanent,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said in a radio interview this morning. But he added that the government would be requesting its extension by two months, until the end of July, to cover the European football championships and the Tour de France. If adopted by parliament, it would be the third extension since President Hollande declared a state of emergency in the wake of the despicable attacks of November 13, 2015 that left 130 people dead and hundreds injured.
