Data from France’s Interior Ministry shows that in another night of rioting in France, at least 157 people were arrested following the death last week of a 17-year-old by a police officer in Nanterre, on the outskirts of Paris. There were 352 fires on public roads and 297 vehicles were set on fire. Three members of the security forces were injured.
The Interior Minister reported on Monday that a 24-year-old firefighter died fighting a fire involving “several vehicles in an underground car park in Sait-Denis (93)”. The victim, who was part of the Paris sapper firefighters, was helped “quickly” by his colleagues, Gérald Darmanin reported in a message published on Twitter, but eventually died.

President Emmanuel Macron will meet this Monday with the presidents of the Senate (upper house of the French parliament), Gérard Larcher, and of the National Assembly (lower house), Yaël Braun-Pivet. On Tuesday, the French head of state will receive about two hundred mayors from the municipalities affected by the tumult of the past few days at the Élysée.
In fact, a demonstration of the municipalities is planned for this Monday against the attack on the mayor of L’Hay-les-Roses, Vincent Jeanbrun, considered the most serious incident recorded during the last nights of riots in France.
While he was working at City Hall, people drove a burning car into the house where his wife and two children aged five and seven were staying. One of the children had to be treated for injuries, as did the mother, who broke her leg.
The president of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), David Lisnard, has called for a demonstration at noon today in front of town halls across the country.
The French government again mobilized 45,000 police on Sunday to deal with protests that have been taking place in the country for several nights in a row following the death of young Nahel Merzouk, which took place last Tuesday in Nanterre, on the outskirts of Paris. .
Nahel, 17 years old, was killed by police after a traffic stop.
