He also warned that “those who looted will have to pay back, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”On Sunday, the violence and protests had largely subsided, apart from sporadic skirmishes and looting involving small numbers of rioters in Paris, as the unrest gave way to political finger pointing. Politicians from the far left to the far right criticized the government for a police response deemed too weak or ill-prepared, with some calling for Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez to resign. Nuñez told journalists Saturday that the police had not been understaffed, but that it was hard to contain rioters “when they’re scattered in small groups.”Saturday’s unrest, which led to nearly 2,400 arrests, caused widespread damage to several symbols of the state. Among them was a 19th-century city hall largely destroyed by fire in Limoges, a town in central France renowned for its porcelain. Nearly 1,000 police officers were injured, France’s Interior Ministry said Sunday, including seven suffering from serious injuries.

Governor Hochul, Bruce Blakeman hit campaign trail before early voting underway next weekend
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman campaigned in separate appearances Sunday, offering sharply different visions for New York as voters prepare for early voting and Election Day. Hochul visited Concourse Village in the Bronx, where she highlighted policies including a ban on cell phones in schools and expanded access to community college and child care. The governor said those priorities are rooted in her own experiences. "I knew what it was like to struggle, not having child care. That's why as governor, when I'm focusing on your family as my fight and we're going to have child care for everybody, this was a personal fight because I knew what it was like not to have it," Hochul said. Meanwhile, Blakeman campaigned in Elmont on Long Island alongside Lee Zeldin, whom Hochul narrowly defeated in the 2022 gubernatorial election. Zeldin later became administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Trump administration. While Hochul did not mention Blakeman during her Bronx appearance, supporters said a major challenge for Democrats in the borough is voter turnout. "I'm counting on all of you," Hochul told attendees.
