Macron Asks PM To Hold Talks With Protestors
French President Emmanuel Macron ordered the country's prime minister on Sunday to hold talks with political leaders and demonstrators following nationwide protests in Paris. Reuters reports protestors in Paris on Saturday were seen looting, setting fire to cars, and destroying luxury homes and cafes. Riot police flooded the scene. The unrest began as part of a backlash against fuel tax rises. Macron said in a statement that he asked his interior minister to prepare security forces for future protests and his prime minister to hold talks with political party leaders and representatives of the protesters. Police said they had arrested more than 400 people on Saturday and that 133 were injured.
