PARIS (Reuters) - France's interior minister said on Tuesday he had asked local prefects to ban all ultra-right demonstrations after authorities were criticized for allowing a march of far-right activists in Paris over the weekend.

"We will let the courts decide if case-law allows these demonstrations," Gerald Darmanin told the National Assembly.
