Macron tries to deal with worst rioting as "yellow vest" militants set heart of Paris ablaze
13 Sept 06:34 Key points summarised by AI
- French President Emmanuel Macron ordered his prime minister to hold talks with political leaders and "yellow vest" demonstrators after central Paris experienced its worst rioting since 1968.
- Rioters caused extensive damage across Paris's wealthiest neighborhoods, torching dozens of cars, looting boutiques, smashing luxury homes, and vandalizing banks.
- The unrest escalated as groups of masked individuals, identified as far-right and far-left extremists, infiltrated the otherwise calmer "yellow vest" protests, leading to widespread arson and destruction.
- This marks the third week of nationwide "yellow vest" protests, with this weekend being the second consecutive instance of severe violence in the capital, prompting calls for immediate concessions from Macron.
