Live: Paris bans protests after violent unrest as Macron takes swipe at Trump
French authorities have prohibited protests in certain areas of Paris due to escalating unrest, following violent demonstrations. This decision coincided with President Macron's criticism of President Trump for allegedly using the riots for political gain ahead of the US midterms. The ban is effective from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and includes significant locations like the Elysee Palace and the Louvre. Additionally, a student protest was canceled due to concerns over potential violence. Prime Minister Lecornu is set to meet with mayors from cities affected by the riots, including Paris, Marseille, and Lyon, as the country prepares for more protests this weekend.
