France imposes Paris curfews after cost-of-living protests turn violent

thehindu.com [$] —

France imposed overnight curfews in parts of Paris after violent protests, looting, and clashes with police over the rising cost of living, with additional restrictions introduced for minors in several cities. U.S. President Donald Trump has used the unrest to intensify anti-immigration rhetoric ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, with Trump and allies blaming immigration for the violence. Analysts note the French crisis has become part of America's domestic political debate, though the connection between immigration and the protests remains disputed.
