Macron 'FLEES' France As Rioters Attempt To Storm Presidential Palace Amid Non-Stop Riots? Watch

French President Emmanuel Macron has travelled to Kuwait for a Gulf tour as France reels from widespread protests over rising prices, school conditions and public services. More than half a million people demonstrated over the weekend, with violent clashes, looting and arson leaving hundreds injured and more than 2,300 people in police custody. Protesters also blocked entrances to the Louvre Museum in Paris. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez acknowledged policing failures and offered to resign, but Macron refused his resignation. Opposition leaders Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon have criticised the government's handling of the unrest as political pressure mounts ahead of France's 2027 presidential election and a crucial budget vote. Macron's Gulf visit aims to secure additional fuel supplies amid disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, while separate cost-of-living protests have also emerged elsewhere in Europe. #france #macron #marinelepen #parisprotests #franceriots #louvre #kuwait #costofliving #europeprotests #breakingnews #worldnews Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
