Paris Police Arrest 117 in New Looting Crackdown

Police in Paris arrested 117 people on Sunday amid looting attempts, according to French authorities. Nine arrests occurred at the start of the night, with groups of opportunistic youths reportedly targeting shops. Protesters threw glass bottles at officers, and looters broke into an iconic department store. Over the weekend, nationwide demonstrations against government policy, education, and living costs drew hundreds of thousands, with riots in multiple cities leading to at least 2,000 arrests and 600 injured responders. Interior Minister Nuñez resigned but President Macron refused it, citing preparation failures. Nuñez is expected in Marseille, where thousands looted and attacked police, including breaking into city hall.
