French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Monday that a state of emergency could be imposed \u201cif needed\u201d, while adding that curfews were a better solution to the crisis over violent protests.<\/p>\n
With six months to go before France elects a successor to President Emmanuel Macron, the country was rocked over the weekend by some of its worst street violence in years. The unrest came after weeks of student demonstrations demanding better conditions in schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am absolutely determined to restore order,\u201d Lecornu said after a crisis meeting, adding he did not rule out imposing a state of emergency.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIf needed, I will do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs things stand, however, the issue of curfews, and the implementation of those curfews, seems better suited to the situation we may be facing.\u201d<\/p>\n
In France, a state of emergency grants authorities temporary powers that go beyond ordinary policing in order to respond to a serious threat to public order or national security.<\/p>\n
Measures can include curfews, restrictions on movement, and bans on public demonstrations.<\/p>\n
Lecornu said he had asked regional authorities to impose \u201clocalised\u201d curfews on Monday evening, notably to protect businesses.<\/p>\n
A map of the curfew zones was set to be released later Monday following consultations with mayors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatching television, the French get the impression that it\u2019s chaos everywhere. Fortunately, that\u2019s not the case,\u201d Lecornu said. \u201cThe disorder is highly concentrated in urban centres.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least 3,000 businesses were affected by the unrest, according to Trade and Small Businesses Minister Serge Papin.<\/p>\n
They will benefit from a \u201cdedicated support fund\u201d as well as other measures, Lecornu said.<\/p>\n
Interior Minister Laurent Nunez earlier Monday submitted his resignation, saying police had \u201clost control\u201d in some cities at the weekend. Macron did not accept his resignation.<\/p>\n
Standing next to Lecornu, Nunez said that \u201ca number of measures\u201d aimed at containing and preventing looters and vandals would be implemented \u201cstarting this evening\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will further increase the number of police officers and gendarmes deployed on the ground,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Lecornu also accused the \u201cultra-left movement\u201d of seeking to \u201corchestrate deep unrest across the country\u201d in the runup to next spring\u2019s election.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a whole network that could be mobilised to even call into question the timetable for the presidential election and the holding of the presidential election itself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
