On Monday, protesters blocked the entrance to the Louvre museum in Paris. The demonstrations in support of public education and the cost of living were held in several French cities, including Marseille, Lille and Nice.
The targeted restrictions are part of a state effort to reassert control after the country’s largest riots in years, as those arrested in the chaos face expedited trials.
The interior minister acknowledged that the police were underprepared for the scale of the riots. But Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu defended their efforts and pledged to restore order.
