FRANCE BURNING! Public Buildings Attacked as Riots Spread Nationwide | Times Now World

France has been rocked by violent clashes, arson and looting as nationwide protests over rising living costs, deteriorating public services and poor school conditions escalated across major cities. In Limoges, City Hall was set ablaze, while Paris saw police deploy tear gas and water cannons against violent demonstrators. Attacks on public buildings and businesses were also reported in Marseille and Lyon. France's Interior Ministry estimated that around 550,000 people participated in demonstrations nationwide, while the CGT trade union put the turnout at 800,000. Most demonstrators marched peacefully, with students, trade unions and Yellow Vest activists joining the protests. President Emmanuel Macron vowed to prosecute those responsible for vandalism and looting, while Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu blamed radical left-wing groups and criminals for the violence. The unrest has intensified scrutiny of police tactics and increased pressure on the French government ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
