Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that France will impose new curfews where necessary following severe rioting that shook the country on October 17, 2026. The unrest marks some of the worst rioting seen in France in recent years.
Partial curfews have already been implemented in Paris and several other cities, a measure the Prime Minister stated has successfully contributed to restoring calm overnight.
The timing of the violence is politically significant, occurring just six months before France is scheduled to hold an election to choose a successor to President Emmanuel Macron.
