    I mean her answer was in response to a question specifically about a state of emergency, so it’s definitely more than just the author’s speculation

    Translation for those who don’t speak French:

    Asked during a press conference about the possibility of resorting to a state of emergency, the prime minister responded: "We will examine all the possibilities with the president of the Republic at 13:00 during the meeting which he will hold. So, I can’t respond to you right now, but we’re considering all our options with a priority of the return of republican order across the whole territory.
