Paris – French President Francois Hollande will present a bill to extend the state of emergency in France, as well as propose severe amendments to the constitution in light of last week’s wave of attacks in Paris that killed at least 132 people.

The French leader said on Monday, in an exceptional joint gathering of parliament, that he would make the proposals on Wednesday and parliamentarians would vote on them before the end of the week.

Friday’s “acts of war… were decided and planned in Syria, prepared and organised in Belgium [and] perpetrated on our soil with French complicity”, he said, speaking in Versailles, south of Paris.

“I have asked the prime minister to prepare constitutional amendments,” he added.
