Paris police make 351 new arrests amid looting and protests
Paris police reported 351 new arrests during looting incidents in the city over the past day and night, according to the French police prefecture. The arrests involved groups of young people attempting to vandalize and loot shops. Demonstrators also threw glass bottles at officers, and looters broke into an iconic department store after smashing its entrance. Weekend protests across France drew hundreds of thousands on at least 110 locations, with riots in multiple cities including Marseille, Toulouse, and Lyon. Interior Minister Nuñez said at least 2,000 people were arrested nationwide, with 600 responders injured and one death from a heart attack. Nuñez resigned but President Macron refused to accept it, citing the need for stable leadership during unrest.
