> Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced a large-scale judicial operation to hold those responsible for weekend violence accountable and ordered limited, localized curfews from Monday evening. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez admitted police lost control in some areas; President Emmanuel Macron rejected his resignation. The protests were over rising living costs and fuel prices.
