Macron Calls for Calm After Riots and Looting Across France. French President Emmanuel Macron urged calm and order after nationwide protests descended into rioting and looting. About 550,000 people demonstrated over fuel prices, living costs and deteriorating public services across France Saturday. Macron distinguished legitimate grievances from violence, warning those responsible for destruction and looting would face justice. Authorities arrested roughly 2,400 people, while about 1,000 police officers were injured during Saturday's widespread unrest. Rioting continued Sunday in parts of Paris and Lyon, with looting and clashes reported again overnight. Macron promised transparency over police tactics after officers used tear gas, water cannons and batons extensively. The unrest began with student protests before expanding as unions and other anti-government groups joined nationwide. Political leaders traded blame as France faces deep divisions ahead of the presidential election next April.
