French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said the government would impose new curfews in parts of the country where they were considered necessary. His announcement followed demonstrations at the end of the previous week over the cost of living and access to education. The week-end protests turned into violent clashes. French authorities have been working to restore peace and security following the unrest. In a post on X on Tuesday, Lecornu said local officials would decide whether to put a curfew into effect in their prefectures. The report did not list the affected areas or set a duration for the restrictions.
