Nach ruhiger Nacht: Frankreich verlängert örtliche Ausgangssperren
In Paris, Lyon und weiteren Städten blieb es in der Nacht nach Ausgangssperren ruhig. Doch für Samstag sind neue Proteste angekündigt – wie reagieren die Behörden?
Following a peaceful night, France has extended local curfews in several cities due to serious disturbances in Paris and other urban areas. Premier minister Sébastien Lecornu stated that these measures helped ensure "a quiet night." Further curfews were set to be decided on Monday evening, to be taken jointly by prefects and municipal leaders.
Police and gendarmes reported no significant incidents in the affected regions, confirming that everything remained calm, according to BFMTV citing authorities. Strict restrictions were imposed in the night across multiple cities, notably Paris, where from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., all presence was prohibited in the central square of the Republic and the Les Halles district.
Furthermore, demonstrations and gatherings were banned in certain neighborhoods of the metropolis after 8 p.m. These measures were deemed necessary to restore public order, the police prefecture announced. Similar curfews and demonstration bans were also implemented in Lyon. Only in certain streets, with prior justification, people could remain outdoors in Nizza on Tuesday night.
Strict curfews were also introduced in Nizza, Lille, Douai, Wattignies, and Denain, northern French cities, due to the violent protests and looting that followed nationwide protests over high living costs over the weekend. Further protests are expected on Saturday.
