Protests in France over rising inflation and problems related to public services have turned violent. In response to the situation, French President Emmanuel Macron has adopted a tough stance, warning that those responsible for violence and destruction will have to pay the price.

According to reports, police have arrested around 2,400 people in connection with the violence. The incidents have reportedly claimed the lives of one protester and one police officer, while more than 600 police officers have been injured.

What began as a protest over inflation and public services has now become a serious challenge to law and order. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and taking action against those involved in the violence.
