France’s Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has requested that several municipalities implement curfews beginning Monday evening, following widespread riots that gripped France over the weekend. The request aims to protect businesses and citizens, according to the Prime Minister, emphasizing that these curfews will be partial and localized. Lecornu also accused what he described as the ultra-left of attempting to instigate widespread unrest throughout the country, particularly in the lead-up to next year’s presidential election. The move comes as authorities attempt to regain control following days of violent demonstrations across France. The French government is taking a firm stance against the ongoing disturbances. Further details regarding the specific municipalities and curfew times are expected to be announced shortly.
