Macron calls for calm and order after riots across France

Emmanuel Macron called for “calm and order” after protests over rising fuel prices, the cost of living and deteriorating public services escalated into rioting and looting. About 550,000 people demonstrated on Saturday, and police arrested around 2,400 people, according to the interior ministry. Macron distinguished legitimate protest demands from violence and said those responsible would face justice. In Limoges, a 19th-century town hall was gutted by fire, while clashes and looting continued on a smaller scale in Paris and Lyon on Sunday.
