    After a joint ministerial crisis meeting, Lecornu saiddetails of the curfews, including the areas where they would apply, wereexpected to be announced Monday afternoon following consultations with themayors concerned. He also left open the possibility of declaring a state ofemergency “if necessary,” but said curfews appeared to be “a more appropriateoption.”
