President Emmanuel Macron of France has turned down the resignation request made by Interior Minister Laurent Nunez as a result of nationwide riots that occurred over the weekend. This was stated on Monday, October 19, 2026, at the French presidential office, Elysee Palace.

This outbreak of riots has been due to increasing dissatisfaction of citizens concerning the rise of living standards and public service cutbacks. The protests eventually turned violent in many parts with confrontations between groups of protesters and security officers, lootings, and damages caused to public and personal property.

President Macron asked Minister Nunez to stay in his post so that the chain of command among police and security units would be sustained. In addition, the president tasked the interior minister to come up with new measures to control the looters and stop the violence as soon as possible, Elysee Palace.
