France's President Emmanuel Macron has promised a minimum wage rise and tax concessions in response to weeks of violent protests.France had 4 weekends of violent protests against fuel tax rises, living costs and other issues.
Speaking in a televised address, Macron condemned the violence but said the protesters' anger was "deep, and in many ways legitimate".
The minimum wage would increase by €100 per month from 2019, he said.
A planned tax increase for low-income pensioners would be cancelled, overtime pay would no longer be taxed, and employers would be encouraged to pay a tax-free end of year bonus to employees, he commented.
However, he refused to reinstate a tax on the wealthy, saying "this would weaken us, we need to create jobs".
The minimum wage will be increased by 7% - and the cost of this increase will be met by the government rather than employers.
