Macron urges calm amid protests and arrests
French President Emmanuel Macron called for calm after widespread protests across several French cities, which included acts of vandalism, looting, and the burning of buildings. He affirmed that the protesters' demands are legitimate and peaceful, but emphasized the need to distinguish between peaceful demonstrations and acts of violence. Sources reported that police arrested approximately 2,400 people and injured around a thousand of their officers, with one protester dying after his heart stopped in Paris. The protests were a response to the rising cost of living and declining public services, and they grew in size, including student participation. The government has pledged to take measures to protect public facilities and stores, without declaring a state of emergency.
