Partial curfew on the way in France

While Prime Minister Lecornu did not give details on which cities the ban would be imposed or the scope of the restrictions, he strictly ruled out a step that would cover the entire capital.

"Putting the whole of Paris under curfew is out of the question, it makes no sense," Lecornu said.

Governors will consult with mayors and business representatives before determining measures to ensure the safety of life and property.

Speaking at the same press conference, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced that there were no plans to postpone the football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona to be played on Tuesday evening.

According to Ministry of Internal Affairs data, more than half a million people participated in the protests across the country.

While approximately 2,400 people were detained during the events, nearly 1,000 police and firefighters were injured.

Throughout the weekend, masked and hooded groups looted shops, set vehicles on fire, targeted official buildings and clashed with police.

While tension continued in the Republic Square (Place de la République) in Paris on Sunday, a gathering ban was imposed in the southern city of Marseille, covering most of Monday.

Prime Minister Lecornu announced that a large-scale judicial operation was launched to identify the perpetrators of the incidents.

Stating that approximately 200 inspectors within the Paris Police Department examined camera and video recordings, Lecornu said, "First of all, those who caused damage should pay the price."

Short-time working allowance will be available as of Tuesday for businesses damaged by incidents.

A special support fund will also be allocated for tradesmen and companies experiencing cash flow difficulties.

Lecornu announced that there will be discussions with political parties on the security of election campaigns and with unions on the peaceful conduct of demonstrations.

The Prime Minister emphasized that large groups of people participating in the protests were not involved in violence and said, "It should be reminded again that many people demonstrated peacefully last Saturday."
