French cities plan curfews after unrest
French authorities responded to a weekend of widespread riots and looting across the country by empowering local mayors to introduce curfews and by considering a state of emergency. Over 2,500 people were arrested, and police injuries exceeded 1,000, with significant property damage—including damage estimated at hundreds of millions of euros—and dozens of shops impacted. The protests, initially about school conditions, broadened to include issues like fuel prices and public services, with violence resulting in destruction of buildings and clashes with police.
