French president calls crisis meeting on riots

French President Emmanuel Macron will hold a second crisis meeting in response to the ongoing rioting that occurred overnight in various cities across France. The protests erupted following the death of a teenager at the hands of a police officer.

Violence occurred in Marseille, Lyon, Pau, Toulouse, Lille, and parts of Paris, including the suburb of Nanterre where a 17-year-old named Nahel M was tragically killed during a traffic stop on Tuesday.

Interior Agenda 111: 88 hospitals currently under construction – Information Minister Gerald Darmanin reported that 667 individuals were arrested during the night, which he described as a period of “unusual violence.”

In light of these developments, President Macron has called for the crisis meeting to address the situation.
