🇫🇷⚡️ — Curfews are being introduced on the streets of Paris, Nice and other areas of France.

According to BFMTV, in the capital there will be a curfew from 23:00 to 6:00. The measure will apply to Place de la République and the streets around Les Halles (this area suffered the most from the unrest that swept through France over the weekend). Absolutely all citizens and tourists will be banned from being in these places (and not only minors, as was announced earlier).

Curfews are also being introduced in other French cities. The prefecture of the Rhône department has imposed it in part of Lyon from 21:00 to 6:00 for one night. In the center of Nice, it will apply to minors from 21:00. The prefectures of northern communes of France have introduced a similar measure: a curfew from 20:00 to 6:00 for persons under 18 has been announced in some districts of the cities of Lille, Wattignies, Douai and Denain. It will be in force for the next two days, BFMTV reports.

The decision of the French authorities was taken against the backdrop of unrest that has been going on throughout France for more than a month: students and schoolchildren are taking part, protesting against a shortage of teachers, the poor condition of schools, and the introduction of fees for a number of educational programs. This weekend they were joined by farmers, climate activists and the Yellow Vests movement. According to government estimates, more than 800,000 people have taken part in the unrest. In major cities, shops and boutiques have been looted, and in the streets of Paris police dispersed demonstrators with tear gas and water cannons. Fires have also been recorded in buildings in several cities during the protests. For example, in Limoges a fire caused the collapse of the town hall tower, which was built back in the 19th century.
