French authorities are seeking to ban or curb fresh protests scheduled for the weekend, with security measures being prepared in an effort to restore calm. The actions follow a previous wave of demonstrations over the cost of living that resulted in widespread violence, destruction, and looting.
In Paris alone, hundreds of shops and other small businesses were destroyed on the sidelines of the earlier protests. President Emmanuel Macron emphasized that the primary priority is achieving a return to calm across the country as the government moves to prevent further unrest.
