At least 78 people have been arrested tonight in the framework of the protests in France, a figure much lower than those of the previous nights, after four days marked by riots in the french streets after his death at the hands of the police a 17 year old in Nanterre.

This balance, which includes some twenty arrests in Paris, is far from the more than 700 arrested on Saturday and the more than 1,000 on Friday, after various political and social sectors have made numerous calls for calm.

On the other hand, the Police have had to disperse a few hundred people with tear gas of an extreme right-wing group that was protesting on the steps of a hotel in Lyon, according to the newspaper ‘Le Figaró’.

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, will receive this Monday the presidents of the Senate and the National Assembly, while the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, will invite the spokespersons of the parliamentary groups in the afternoon “in a logic of exchanges.” The president will receive the councilors of more than 220 municipalities affected by the protests at the Élysée Palace on Tuesday.

Macron has also asked his ministers “restore order and guarantee a return to calm”, while it has indicated that the Government “must continue to be on the side” of the security forces that have been mobilized day and night, reports the BFMTV chain.

The agent fired at the young man last Tuesday when he started the march in a car whose window the policeman was leaning out of. His death has sparked six consecutive days of anti-racist protests and riots and the policeman, described as “exemplary” and “very calm”, has been suspended and charged with murder.
