Paris Imposes Overnight Curfew in Two Areas After France's Worst Rioting in Years

Paris police imposed overnight curfews on Monday in two areas of the French capital to try to prevent further disorder after what was described as France's worst rioting in years. The weekend unrest targeted city halls, other public buildings and thousands of businesses across the country. About 3,000 businesses were damaged and 2,400 people were arrested nationwide. Police said the order aims to protect people and property. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez offered to resign over the rioting and looting in major cities, but President Emmanuel Macron asked him to stay.

The three sides share the same headline and do not contradict one another; they differ in emphasis. Left-leaning coverage, from The Washington Post, leads with Nuñez's resignation offer and Macron's request that he remain. Alternative coverage, from AP, opens with the curfew and the scale of the rioting, citing the stated purpose of protecting people and property. Right-leaning coverage, from the New York Post, focuses on the curfews alongside the damage and arrest figures. Each outlet's excerpt is brief, so some details appear on only one side.
