The President of the National Assembly announced in a press release that she would propose the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry at a conference of Presidents of the Assembly on Tuesday morning, "to shed light on these excesses, the methods of small violent groups", but also "the strategy for maintaining order" and its "possible dysfunctions".

Urban France, which brings together French metropolises and large cities, is requesting a meeting with the Prime Minister on Sunday after the violence and looting that occurred on Saturday in several cities, notably Limoges where the town hall was set on fire. The association of elected officials notes “extreme urban violence” and “attacks on public buildings, vandalism and looting”, which are “intolerable and must be condemned and sanctioned with the greatest severity”.

The police intervened on Sunday afternoon “to disperse and arrest” an “undeclared” gathering at Place de la République in Paris, indicated the police headquarters, the day after massive violence and looting on the sidelines of the October 17 demonstrations. To avoid a wild procession after a particularly tense Saturday day marked by 855 arrests in the capital, the police “carried out checks” and “put in place a security system”.

Alexandre Bompard, president of the Federation of Commerce and Distribution (FCD), estimated on Sunday at 1,500 the number of businesses directly affected in France by the violence of the day before, for a bill of hundreds of millions of euros. “It is a very high direct financial bill” whose amount could reach “several hundred million euros”, declared on LCI Alexandre Bompard who is also the CEO of Carrefour.

One of the co-organizers of Saturday's day of mobilization against the "high cost of living", Benjamin Ball, on Sunday gave his support to the "revolts which are breaking out all over the country". “I was asked to condemn the violence, the riots, the barricades. To condemn the anger of the people. I refuse to add my voice to the concert of indignation. I do not condemn this anger: I salute it,” he wrote.

“Undeniably, in Lille as throughout the national territory, there was a greater mobilization than forecasts,” recognized the prefect of the North, Bertrand Gaume. US President Donald Trump said that “France is burning”, calling the country “broken” by immigration.

This Sunday, the Bordeaux authorities invited individuals who witnessed violence on the sidelines of Saturday's demonstrations to send any videos to the police in order to help “find their perpetrators”. In Limoges, the interior of the town hall, set on fire the day before, is “almost 100% destroyed”.

Laurent Nuñez announced a report of 2,000 arrests in France on Saturday. “At this stage, more than 600 police officers, gendarmes and firefighters have been injured,” added the minister. The mayor of Strasbourg, Catherine Trautmann, announced the establishment of a support unit for victims of thugs.

The Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, will chair an interministerial crisis unit on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron will solemnly address the French at 8:00 p.m. this Sunday.
