More than 2,000 people have been arrested and over 600 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters injured during violent protests across France, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez. Around 550,000 people joined demonstrations nationwide over fuel prices, the cost of living, education and public services. In Paris, police detained a record 855 people, while a fire severely damaged a historic town hall in Limoges.
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to prosecute those responsible for vandalism and looting while defending the right to peaceful protest. Meanwhile, demonstrations in northern Italy also turned violent, with dozens of people injured and several arrests reported in Milan, Bologna and Turin.
