There will be a curfew tonight in the center of Lyon and in Paris, authorities said.

Authorities in Lyon have imposed a curfew for the second consecutive night, with similar measures set for Paris. The curfew in Lyon will restrict movement from 9 PM to 6 AM, while in Paris, it will apply from 11 PM to 6 AM in specific areas. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu indicated that more cities might follow suit if the measures prove effective. The government is preparing for potential protests this weekend, with a significant police presence expected. The far-right National Rally party has called for security assurances for its congress amid planned anti-racism demonstrations. Lecornu attributed recent clashes to a 'rebellious plan' by far-left groups, promising to provide evidence for his claims.
