BBC reports France protests as mostly peaceful despite clashes
Amid widespread protests over rising living costs in France, authorities reported nearly 2,400 arrests and the injury of nearly 1,000 police officers and firefighters. While some coverage described the demonstrations as "mostly peaceful," footage showed significant violence, including burning vehicles and looting. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the riots, distinguishing between legitimate protesters and those responsible for destruction, and the unrest led to the resignation of the Interior Minister. The White House cited President Trump blaming immigration for the violence and urged France to close its borders.
