France extends curfews in Paris and Lyon after first quiet night since rioting

France put new curfews on the centers of Paris and Lyon on Tuesday after a calm night, following the country's most destructive rioting in years.

Posted Updated (12 d ago)

New curfews were being imposed on Tuesday across the centers of Paris and Lyon, NPR reports. They follow the first quiet night after what NPR calls France's most destructive rioting in years. NPR's headline says nightly curfews will run "for as long as necessary" in Paris and other cities.

The first curfews took effect Monday night in parts of Paris and in cities including Bordeaux, Nice and Lyon, according to France 24. France 24 reports Paris had no disturbances overnight.

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said local authorities can extend curfews where the "situation requires it", France 24 reports. France 24 also reports he has said a state of emergency is not out of the question.

The curfews follow cost-of-living and anti-government protests that turned into rioting and looting over the weekend, Deutsche Welle reports. NBC News calls it the country's worst unrest in years.

The BBC reports the interior minister admitted police "lost control" in some cities. PBS NewsHour says officials have acknowledged "failures" in their handling of the unrest and that an investigation is underway to find those responsible.
