France Seeks Culprits in the October 17 Mass Riots: Far-Left, Students and Social Media
After Saturday's riots in France, which saw more than 3,000 stores looted, a political battle has erupted in the country over the interpretation of events. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and the interior minister blamed far-left groups; Jean-Luc Mélenchon denies this. A parliamentary inquiry, social media shutdowns and a shortage of police are being discussed. The presidential election is six months away.
