France orders local curfews after riots as unrest hits Italy

25 sources

France imposed local curfews and protest bans on Monday after weekend riots with over 2,000 arrests. Macron kept his interior minister, and similar clashes hit Milan.

After a crisis meeting on Monday, 19 October, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu told prefects to impose "partial" and "very local" curfews that evening, and said he would declare a state of emergency if needed. Paris police set a curfew in some districts from 11 pm to 6 am, and Marseille banned gatherings from noon to 8 pm. The measures follow Saturday's riots at cost-of-living protests, when looters hit hundreds of shops and rioters set Limoges city hall ablaze. The interior ministry reports over 600 injured officers and more than 2,000 arrests. Lecornu called the absence of deaths on Saturday "a miracle".

Macron keeps interior minister

Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez's resignation, citing the need for continuous command of the security forces, and ordered him to establish what failures in anticipation and intelligence led to the riots. Paris mayor Emmanuel Grégoire, a Socialist, said police underestimated the number of rioters and questioned tactics that blocked peaceful marchers.

Clashes in Milan

Milan police detained 271 young people on Sunday and arrested 32, according to Jerusalem Post; FAZ counts 160 arrests. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called a security meeting and accused the left opposition of not condemning the violence clearly enough.
