Macron faces protests and crackdowns during visits to French towns.

Local law enforcement officers in Ganges, France confiscated saucepans used by protesters to make noise during demonstrations against Emmanuel Macron's visit to a high school. The officer referred to a ban on "portable sound devices" and "entertainment devices" issued by local authorities. Macron is currently touring the country to reconcile with the public after his controversial pensions reform became law. Pans and trowels were also used by crowds of demonstrators to disrupt Macron's visit to the town of Muttersholtz on Wednesday.
