France plans to reinforce police with troops for protests scheduled Saturday, after riots and looting swept Paris, Marseille, Lyon and other cities on October 17. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said the operation would be massive, while Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said soldiers would work alongside police. The government also promised to revise its security tactics after criticism that city centres were left exposed. Lecornu blamed far-left groups for the violence; critics cited anger over living costs and declining public services.
