NewzFrench President Emmanuel Macron has condemned what he termed "unbridled" riots across the country, asserting that individuals responsible for destruction must face financial and legal consequences. Macron specifically attributed the unrest to agitators originating from ultra-right and ultra-left groups, pointing to organized elements within the demonstrations.

Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader and a leading contender in upcoming elections, criticized the incumbent president by claiming his administration is "running on fumes." Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on the situation, attributing the ongoing violence in France to issues surrounding immigration.
