France protests... injuries and arrests. Macron holds an emergency meeting to discuss the situation



 French Ministry of the Interior reported that 719 people had been detained and 45 security personnel had been injured as protests and riots over the death of a little child by a traffic cop in a Paris neighborhood reached their sixth day.

As evidence of the severity of the crisis the nation is experiencing, the French presidency announced that an assessment of the situation would take place this evening, Sunday, in the presence of President Emmanuel Macron. The French Prime Minister confirmed that great efforts are being made to stop the violence and restore order.

French Judicial Union, for its part, demanded in a statement that the statute authorizing the use of lethal force by security forces in the case of detainee disobedience be put on hold and that an impartial commission be established to look into the security forces' moral behavior.

In a statement, the syndicate criticized the judiciary's involvement in the murder of the boy Nael, arguing that it should not put an end to what it called an uprising and that it should not be powerless in the face of political discourse that downplays security violence or police discrimination.

In addition, the French Ministry of the Interior said that 871 fires broke out on public roadways last night, the fifth night of the protests, in addition to 577 cars being burned and 74 buildings being set on fire in several French cities.

Since the rioting started on Tuesday, more than 1,300 people were arrested the previous evening, which set a new record.

A decree was issued allowing the Paris police to use drones for filming in several "Aut Don Saint" municipalities in the western suburb of Paris and all the cities of "Saint-Denis" in the northern suburb of Paris, starting at six in the evening until six in the morning, local time, as part of the security measures to cordon off the events. to France.

However, despite several events and the arrest of hundreds, the riots in France saw a relative fall on Sunday night, hours after the funeral of Nael, a 17-year-old kid who was killed by a policeman's gunshot, but a car broke into the mayor's home.

The child, Nael, was reportedly stopped by a police patrol early on Tuesday while operating a rental automobile, according to the French Public Prosecutor's Office.

In a video clip that circulated on social media, two police officers attempted to halt the vehicle before one of them shot the driver out the window as he attempted to flee, killing the youngster.

The policeman has been placed under preliminary detention and is the subject of a formal inquiry for "premeditated murder."

Vincent Janbran, the mayor of Lay-Lee-Rose, south of Paris, claimed on Sunday morning that "rioters" stormed into his home at dawn while his wife and two children were present and used a car to enter before setting it ablaze to destroy it.

People close to the official, who is a member of the right-wing opposition "Republicans" party, told AFP that one of the official's two sons had a minor injury and that his wife had suffered a knee injury.

Major city courts are under pressure as a result of the avalanche of criminal cases being brought against alleged troublemakers in France.
