Colorado court blocks Trump from presidential primary ballot

14 Sept 08:35 Key points summarised by AI

Colorado's Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump ineligible for the US presidency, citing his involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol assault under the 14th Amendment.
This landmark decision is the first to successfully invoke the Constitution's 'insurrection clause' to bar a presidential candidate, specifically applying to the Colorado primary ballot.
The ruling is stayed until January 4, as Trump's campaign swiftly announced plans to appeal to the US Supreme Court, condemning the decision as undemocratic.
The decision drew immediate and widespread condemnation from Republicans, who criticized it as political interference aimed at stopping Trump's presidential bid.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
