France imposes curfews in Lille and other cities after weekend violence

France imposed curfews in Lille, Douai, Wattignies, and Denain for Monday and Tuesday nights following weekend urban violence linked to protests. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez met Marseille's mayor after his resignation was rejected by President Macron. The government announced a "massive penal response" with nearly 80% prosecution rates, extended police custody up to 78 hours, and support for businesses including full partial unemployment and a special fund. At least 3,000 shops were damaged, with 2,513 people in custody and 67 already incarcerated. Political reactions were sharp, with opposition figures calling for a state of emergency or criticizing the government's handling. The Prime Minister will meet unions Wednesday, while the Paris prosecutor noted most detainees were not politically affiliated.
