Bardella: 'Order no longer exists in France' after protest violence

bfmtv.com (French) —

French National Rally leader Jordan Bardella said Sunday that "order no longer exists in France" following Saturday's protests against high living costs, which saw violence and vandalism including building fires and looting. Bardella visited a Paris police station to show "very firm and clear support for police forces," saying France was "humiliated" and that violence escalates "a step and a level each time." He called the police deployment "clearly undersized." He criticized the Interior Minister's handling of the protests, citing Marseille's mayor noting only one CRS company was available for the entire city, and said he would leave it to the minister to account for the response.
