France unrest: Macron vows action after 2,400 arrests

Nearly 2,400 people were arrested and around 1,000 police officers injured in France on Saturday, according to the interior ministry, as new protests erupted Sunday and President Macron condemned the violence. In a Sunday evening address, Macron said nothing justifies the violence and that perpetrators will be held accountable. He announced regional leaders will cooperate with mayors to protect cities and public buildings, potentially banning certain gatherings, and ordered a review of police conduct. The unrest, which began as school protests weeks ago, has escalated nationwide with 550,000 participants reported. Paris saw cars burned and shops looted, with around 1,500 stores damaged. A second protester lost a hand to a stun grenade, prompting a ban on their use. France holds presidential elections on April 18 next year.
