Mass protests in France: Limoges town hall burned down, 1,200 people detained

Spreading widely across France, protest actions have spiraled out of control, accompanied by severe violence and clashes. During the riots that erupted in various regions of the country, the city hall of Limoges was attacked by protesters and set on fire.

According to law enforcement agencies, more than 1,200 individuals have been detained in the ongoing nationwide confrontations. Protesters looting stores, damaging public infrastructure, and starting fires have made the situation even more critical.

French officials have strongly condemned the events. The Prime Minister and other officials stated that the scale of the violence is unacceptable, emphasizing that measures to restore public order will be further tightened.

International observers and foreign politicians are closely monitoring the tension in France. Some political circles suggest that migration policies and socio-economic problems lie at the root of the riots.

Currently, the number of police forces in French cities has been increased, and the security regime has been raised to the highest level. The authorities are mobilizing all resources to prevent violence and ensure public stability.
