'Nationalist' terror suspect 'plotted Bastille Day attack on Emmanuel Macron'

A man has been given preliminary terrorism charges for plotting a possible attack on President Emmanuel Macron or minority groups, French authorities said.

Paris prosecutor's office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said on Monday that the 23-year-old suspect's plans were vague and not yet finalised, and that he appeared to be acting alone.
