  • The headline shared is somewhat sensationalized editorialization.

    "Toutes les hypothèses", dont l'instauration de l'état d'urgence, sont envisagées par l'exécutif pour "le retour de l'ordre républicain", a déclaré Elisabeth Borne vendredi 30 juin.

    Note the part in quotes said by PM is "Toutes les hypothèses". The part about a state of emergency (l'état d'urgence) is added by the author of the article in between her actual quotes, with "dont", to show what the writer is implying can be included in that.

    Included in "all hypothesis" I could also imply and add... well basically anything I want to.

    I'm not saying there won't be state of emergency. Just making the actual context of this headline clear to non french readers.
