The police forces deployed during last Saturday's protests, which were accompanied by serious riots, were "too static and not mobile enough," Lecornu told a question session in parliament, reported German news agency dpa.
"We will raise the measures to a higher level," Interior minister Laurent Nunez said, both in terms of the number of officers deployed and their responsiveness.
