Paris police on Monday issued an overnight curfew in two areas of the capital after a weekend of France’s worst rioting in years, which saw city halls and thousands of businesses attacked. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu called for “very limited” and “localized” curfews as authorities struggled to contain the unrest. President Emmanuel Macron rejected the resignation of Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who acknowledged authorities had “lost control” in some major cities.
