Emmanuel Macron Rejects Laurent Nunez Resignation After Riots

French President Emmanuel Macron has declined an offer to resign from Interior Minister Laurent Nunez following widespread weekend rioting across the country. The rejection comes after Laurent Nunez publicly admitted that police lost control during the severe civil unrest.

The Elysee confirmed the decision as the administration confronts political fallout from the weekend disturbances. Laurent Nunez tendered his resignation after acknowledging that security forces failed to maintain order during the clashes, which sparked intense scrutiny over state preparedness and law enforcement strategy.
