> French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Monday that he had asked regional authorities to impose partial, localised curfews in some cities to protect businesses after weekend demonstrations turned violent. He accused the “ultra-left movement” of seeking to orchestrate deep unrest nationwide ahead of next year’s presidential election.
