On Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron rejected Interior Minister Laurent Nunez's offer to resign following the widespread riots that took place in the country at the weekend. The Elysee Palace reported that Macron asked Nunez to continue in his position due to the necessity of maintaining a chain of command within the police and security forces, and he also asked him to develop new methods as quickly as possible to deal with those who commit acts of looting. France is witnessing protests and movements as a result of popular anger over the high costs of living and the deterioration of public services, as well as the conditions of schools.
