President boosts defense budget
President Francois Hollande announced on Wednesday that France would increase its defense budget by close to 4 billion euros ($4.37 billion) over four years, in response to extremist threats after the Paris jihadist attacks. He also said that military patrols at sensitive sites nationwide that were set up after the January attacks would be made permanent.
