French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected the resignation of Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez following significant riots across the country. Macron emphasized the need for improved operational methods within security forces to address the unrest, which has seen over 2,400 arrests and widespread violence. Nuñez acknowledged police failures in maintaining control during the protests.
In response to the escalating situation, authorities in Marseille have banned public gatherings and demonstrations for a specified period. The unrest in France reflects broader tensions in Europe, with similar protests occurring in Italy over rising living costs and fuel prices.
