French authorities renewed curfews for the night of Tuesday, 20 October, in several cities including Paris and Lyon, following the unrest linked to the 17 October demonstrations, according to Le Monde.fr. The measure was also imposed in Marseille for the first time, franceinfo reported.
Le Parisien published a map of the zones covered in the capital and the hours involved, confirming that the Paris arrangement was carried over for Tuesday night. 20 Minutes reported that curfews were expected in multiple cities that evening.
On the political front, Le Monde.fr reports that Labour Minister Sébastien Lecornu will receive the trade unions on Wednesday and the political parties on Thursday. The meetings follow the wave of protests and the security response now unfolding across the country.
Separately, L'Humanité quoted Paris police prefect Laurent Nuñez saying he would be "the one in command" and urging people to count on his firmness, as he plans to deploy the BRI, GIGN, RAID and the army on 24 October.
The reporting does not specify the scale of the violence, the number of people affected by the curfews, or the demands of the unions. Those details were not available in the source material.
What to watch next: the outcome of Lecornu's talks with unions on Wednesday and parties on Thursday, and the security arrangements planned for 24 October.
