France Sees Widespread Violence During Protests; Macron Rejects Interior Minister’s Resignation

PARIS — Protests over the rising cost of living, cuts to public services and problems in schools turned violent across France, with reports of looting, arson and vandalism in several cities. Around 2,400 people were reportedly arrested in connection with the unrest.


In Limoges, the roof of the historic city hall collapsed following a fire during the protests. Commercial establishments were also targeted in other cities. Authorities deployed around 60,000 security personnel across the country on Saturday. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez acknowledged that police had lost control in some areas, according to media reports.

Nuñez offered to resign following criticism of the security response, but President Emmanuel Macron rejected his offer. Macron called for a review of possible failures in security planning and intelligence, along with further action against those involved in the violence. He also stressed the need to distinguish legitimate protest from looting and destruction.

The government is also examining the economic impact on businesses, insurance claims and possible legal action. The unrest has intensified debate over public security and the authorities’ handling of demonstrations.
