Story summary

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu called for localized curfews in major cities like Paris, Lyon, and others after violent protests over rising living costs. On Saturday, hundreds of shops were looted and damaged across France, but no one was killed according to officials. The government imposed partial curfews to prevent further violence following an emergency meeting with top ministers, acknowledging that police had "lost control" in some cities. Troops have been deployed to reinforce the police to quell ongoing riots, as business owners fear more protests and looting ahead of new demonstrations planned for next Saturday.
