French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says curfews imposed in several cities after weekend unrest helped calm the nights and will be introduced again on Tuesday wherever local authorities consider them necessary. [1]
The curfews were imposed on Monday in several cities or parts of cities. Nice’s restriction is also in force on Tuesday night, while a curfew covering part of Paris has ended, according to the report. Decisions on further restrictions are being made locally, Lecornu said.
The measures followed demonstrations against government policy on Saturday, which escalated into rioting and looting in many places. Violence flared again in some areas on Sunday.
