PARIS - President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday urged calm after 150 people were arrested and public buildings were attacked in angry protests over the police killing of a teenager that has incensed France.
“The last few hours have been marked by scenes of violence against police stations, but also schools and town halls... against institutions and the Republic,” he said. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on Twitter as he announced the 150 arrests figure that the violence was “intolerable”. In the working-class 18th and 19th districts of north-eastern Paris, police fired flashballs to disperse protesters burning rubbish, but instead of leaving, the crowd responded by throwing bottles.
