France 24 [en] · western europe

France's Interior Minister Laurent Nunez admitted Monday that the police "lost control" in some cities during violent protests that erupted in cities across the country at the weekend. He said there had been a "lack of anticipation" in preparations and that he had tendered his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron "because I felt responsible for everything that happened." Macron did not accept his resignation.
