Emmanuel Macron says "new policing tactics on the ground as quickly as possible" to curb unrest

After weekend unrest across France, with authorities estimating at least 3,000 businesses were damaged or looted, city halls and public buildings targeted, and at least 2,400 arrests, President Emmanuel Macron refused Interior Minister Laurent Nunez’s resignation on Sunday and asked him to keep directing law enforcement during the emergency. Macron’s office said he also told Nunez to ensure full openness about the planning and intelligence-collection shortcomings that preceded the violence and to speed changes in police operations meant to stop it. Paris police imposed an overnight curfew in Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday, with gatherings banned from 8 p.m.; local curfews for minors were announced elsewhere. The violence followed nationwide protests over living costs and school conditions.
