: Authorities on Wednesday probed the death of a man who may have been felled by a police rubber bullet during riots in Marseille, as France counts the cost of its most intense urban violence in nearly two decades.
In northeastern France, a family has filed a complaint accusing security forces of “intentional violence” on Friday that has left their 25-year-old son fighting for his life in hospital. The Ouest France newspaper published an interview with a 25-year-old who said he was a member of the armed forces and intervened along with 30 colleagues to support police so as to “not leave the country to burn”.
Around 23,000 fires had been lit, 273 buildings belonging to the security forces had been damaged, along with 168 schools and 105 mayor's offices.“We can see calm returning nationwide but remain very alert for the coming hours and days,“ Darmanin said.A divisive political debate is now raging about the reasons for the mass targeting of police and other symbols of the French state.
The comments from a mainstream conservative underscored the shrill debate about immigration and identity in France where far-right politicians such as Marine Le Pen are at historic highs in the polls.
