Marine Le Pen warns of 'threat to democracy' as Paris riots continue

French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen warned of a "threat to democracy" on Sunday, blaming the government for a crisis of confidence amid ongoing riots and looting in Paris. Le Pen criticized President Emmanuel Macron as "without credibility or authority" and accused the far left of responsibility, speaking hours before Macron's scheduled address. National Rally leader Jordan Bardella separately claimed "order no longer exists" and that "France was humiliated" during a police station visit. Violence resumed in Paris on Sunday afternoon around Place de la République, with hooded youths looting shops and clashing with riot police. Authorities reported over 30,000 looters in Marseille on Saturday alone, according to the Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture.
