France's Prime Minister Calls for Localized Curfews in Cities to Curb Rioting and Looting
The order follows weekend unrest that left hundreds of businesses looted and at least 2,400 people arrested, officials said.
- French President Emmanuel Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nunez's resignation on Monday, urging him to remain in command to address the ongoing crisis.
- Nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated into severe violence and looting across Paris, Lyon, and Marseille over the weekend.
- At least 2,400 people were arrested following widespread looting and the destruction of a 19th-century City Hall in Limoges, which Interior Minister Nunez attributed to "hordes of troublemakers and looters."
- Macron instructed Nunez to implement "new policing tactics on the ground as quickly as possible" and demanded transparency about planning and intelligence failures that led to the violence.
- Authorities in Marseille banned all protests from noon to 8 p.m. Monday, as Nunez acknowledged the need to better anticipate future mobilizations to prevent further loss of control.
