Macron Rejects Interior Minister's Offer To Resign After Riots. French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez's offer to resign following widespread rioting across France over the weekend. The demonstrations were fuelled by anger over rising living costs, struggling public services and concerns about the state of French schools. Macron asked Nuñez to remain in his post to maintain a clear chain of command within France's police and security forces. The president also instructed the interior minister to develop new measures as quickly as possible to tackle looting during demonstrations. Nationwide protests descended into riots on Saturday, with a town hall set on fire, shops looted and buildings covered in graffiti. Violent groups clashed with police in several cities as demonstrations spread across the country. Further clashes erupted in Paris and Marseille on Sunday as unrest continued for a second day. Riot police intervened in both cities to prevent attempts to loot businesses during the disturbances.
