France's Curfews: Too Much or Too Little? Press Review

In this press review from Tuesday, October 20, we examine reactions from the French press after Emmanuel Macron's government announced curfews in parts of the country. The move comes in response to weekend violence, and the press debates whether the measures are too much or not enough. We also look at what the foreign press from Britain, Germany, and the US are saying about the weekend's violence. The Italian press reacts to violent looting and destruction of property as the government considers sending in 500 armed troops. The curfews are part of a broader effort to restore order after protests over the cost of living crisis escalated into riots. FRANCE 24 provides a comprehensive overview of the media's response.
