Macron addresses France after street violence; minister blames far-left

French President Emmanuel Macron will address the nation on television Sunday following violent protests against the cost of living on Saturday. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez reported 1,800 arrests nationwide as of Sunday morning. The protests drew between 550,000 and 800,000 participants, expanding from a student movement to include unions, activists, and yellow vest protesters. Nuñez blamed far-left groups for attacks on security forces, public buildings, and shops, with criminals later joining looting. Macron condemned the violence and promised perpetrators would be punished. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu chaired a crisis meeting, while US President Donald Trump attributed the unrest to immigration and called for closing France's borders.
