Paris police announced that the night restrictions applied around Republic Square and the “Les Halles” shopping district will remain in force until the necessity is removed.
In the center of Lyon, the movement restriction continues from 21:00 to 06:00.
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated that large-scale security measures will be taken on the eve of the next protest actions.
According to the information, the protests that started in the country due to the increase in living costs and the conditions in schools were accompanied by riots in a number of cities.
