Tensions remain high in Paris after violent protests across France

Small gatherings and isolated fires were reported at several locations in Paris on Sunday. This follows a day of nationwide demonstrations and riots on Saturday regarding high prices, which MyJoyOnline Ghana described as one of the worst days of unrest in years. During the Saturday protests, a town hall was torched, shops were ransacked or looted, and buildings were covered in graffiti.

The unrest resulted in the death of one protester, who MyJoyOnline Ghana reports suffered a cardiac arrest during demonstrations in Paris. According to the interior minister, police made more than 2,000 arrests across France and more than 600 officers were injured. France 24 reports that the government has attributed the violence to criminals and hard-left and ultra-left groups.
