France's weekend unrest leaves 2,400 arrested and 1,000 injured

Widespread violence erupted across France this weekend, with rioters looting stores, clashing with police, and setting fire to buildings, leading to nearly 2,400 arrests and about 1,000 injuries among officers and firefighters. The unrest followed weeks of peaceful protests over cost of living and school conditions, escalating with an attempt to revive the "yellow vest" movement on Saturday. In Limoges, rioters set the historic 19th-century town hall ablaze, while Paris saw burning barricades near Place de la Republique. French President Emmanuel Macron vowed Sunday to hold those responsible accountable, stating, "Those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable." The violence marks some of the worst civil disorder France has experienced in years.
