Around 2,000 people were arrested in the context of the violence and looting that occurred in France yesterday and continued into the night. This was announced by Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, who will travel to Marseille tomorrow. “At the moment, over 600 policemen, gendarmes and firefighters have been injured, involved in these episodes of violence”, added the minister, specifying that this is an “unfortunately still provisional” toll. Yesterday he said, “violent acts were committed by several thousand individuals from the far left”, who were then “joined by criminals who looted and devastated numerous businesses”. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu will preside over a unit tomorrow at 10am of an inter-ministerial crisis, Matignon announced. The meeting was initially scheduled for today at 7pm, but Matignon announced its postponement for reasons of agenda. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron has decided to summon the prime minister and the relevant ministers to the Elysée at 8pm. He will speak to the nation about the demonstrations and the management of the violence and damage.
