French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu outlined the government’s response to violent protests and looting during a full press conference in Paris on October 19, following an interministerial crisis meeting. Lecornu announced plans for partial, localised curfews, expanded investigations using video footage and legal action against those responsible for damage. He said emergency powers remained an option if necessary, while describing targeted curfews as more appropriate to the situation at that time. The government also pledged support for affected businesses, including short-time working compensation and a dedicated assistance fund. Lecornu addressed police conduct, freedom of assembly, election security and plans to consult political parties and trade unions.
