Lecornu's meetings with parties end without progress
Recent meetings between French Prime Minister and political parties ended without progress, leading to frustration among left and right parties. Accusations were made against the government for not addressing social issues or youth demands. Protests against rising living costs and education sector issues have escalated, prompting authorities to extend curfews in Paris and ban demonstrations in Marseille. Museums in Paris will close during upcoming protests, and police have arrested hundreds following recent violence. Political leaders emphasize the need for concrete responses to public grievances amid ongoing social unrest.
