French Interior Minister Admits Police 'Lost Control' During Violent Protests

France's Interior Minister Laurent Nunez admitted Monday that police "lost control" in some cities during violent protests that erupted across the country at the weekend. He said there had been a "lack of anticipation" in preparations and that he had tendered his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron "because I felt responsible for everything that happened." Macron did not accept his resignation. The admission is a striking acknowledgment of the security failures that allowed demonstrations to escalate into widespread disorder. Nunez's offer to step down and Macron's decision to keep him in place have fueled debate over accountability at the highest levels of government. The report examines the political implications of the minister's statement and what it signals about the government's readiness to handle future unrest as tensions remain high across France.
