Where in France Have Curfews Been Imposed?
Justice official Gérald Darmanin promised an "unrelenting" response to violence as authorities announced increased police arrangements for Saturday's demonstrations in Marseille.
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said targeted curfews helped maintain "the calm of this night," adding that new restrictions will be decided where the situation requires it.
Curfews were introduced across parts of Paris, including the Les Halles shopping area, while other measures restricting movement were implemented in Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice, Lyon, and Lille.
Lecornu said decisions regarding curfews would be made "on the ground" by French regions and local mayors, according to a post he wrote.
President Donald Trump referenced the French unrest at a rally, claiming the violence represents what "radical Democrats" want to do to America.
After a night without major incident, the government is planning further traffic restrictions on Tuesday, 20 October, depending on the local situation.
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says that the introduction of the curfew in various cities has contributed to peace at night. According to him, the curfew will be implemented on Tuesday in places where the situation requires it.
