France's President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday urged ministers to ensure security was tightened more rapidly at the Louvre museum after thieves snatched jewels worth more than $100 million, a government spokeswoman said.
At a cabinet meeting, "he said security measures were being deployed for the Louvre and requested a speeding up of these measures," Maude Bregeon told journalists as the museum reopened for the first time since Sunday's daylight heist.
