France faced a fresh wave of violent disturbances on October 20 as protests over rising living costs brought looting and clashes with police. The government under President Emmanuel Macron imposed nighttime restrictions in several cities. The curfews were ordered to contain the disorder and prevent further confrontations. Authorities said thousands of people were detained during the protests. Hundreds of police officers were injured, while the report put the cost of the damage at millions. The unrest followed demonstrations focused on the cost of living, though the report did not break down the losses by city.
