Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Macron Calls Crisis Talks After 3rd Night of Violence Across France
Caption: Macron Calls Crisis Talks After 3rd Night of Violence Across France. France has seen three consecutive days of unrest after a 17-year-old was shot and killed by police, Politico reports. On June 29, authorities deployed 40,000 security forces across the country. That night, 875 people were arrested as much of the country was set ablaze with Molotov cocktails. President Emmanuel Macron will hold another meeting on June 30 in an attempt to "restore authority," an official close to matter said. Another official said that the Elysée Palace is prioritizing three things: "Employment, schools and dialogue.". Right-wing politicians have called for a state of emergency, but Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne rejected that notion on June 29. However, on June 30, Borne said they were considering all options. A state of emergency would allow authorities to impose curfews and ban demonstrations, Politico reports. Former presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon is "calling for justice,' which has created tension among NUPES, a leftist coalition that has spoken out against violence.
