The fire of violence in Nepal had not yet been extinguished when the fire against the government has also flared up in the French capital Paris. A day after the fall of Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s government in France, protesters in the capital Paris and other places blocked roads, committed arson and the police fired tear gas shells at them. The Home Minister announced the arrest of about 200 people in the early hours of the nationwide protest.
The protest started online, but later it intensified and the police made rapid arrests after the protesters broke the barricades, challenging the deployment of 80,000 policemen.
Home Minister Bruno Retailleau said a bus was set on fire in the western city of Rennes and trains were disrupted due to damage to a power line in the southwest. He alleged that the protesters were trying to create an ‘atmosphere of rebellion’.
French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu as the country’s Prime Minister late on Tuesday night. The country has got a new Prime Minister for the fourth time in almost a year.
What is the reason for the violence?
Before the violence, a ‘Block Everything’ movement was launched on social media. Actually, French Prime Minister Bayrou had presented a plan to save 44 billion euros (about Rs 4 lakh crore) in the budget, for which he was criticized a lot and he had to lose his power.
The Parliament had removed Prime Minister Francois Bayrou through a no-confidence motion two days ago. He was unable to work on controlling the country’s rising debt. French President Macron appointed Sebastian Lecornu as the new Prime Minister of the country on Tuesday (September 9).
