French elected officials attend a "citizens gathering" in front of the town hall of Persan, which was partially burnt during night clashes in Persan, near Paris, France, July 3, 2023. Fewer than 160 people were arrested overnight in connection to riots that have rocked cities across France following the killing of a teenager of North African descent by a police officer, the interior ministry said on Monday.

The relative calm following five nights of heavy riots offered some relief to the government of Emmanuel Macron in its fight to regain control of the situation, just months after widespread protests over an unpopular pension reform and a year out from hosting the Olympics.

The death of Nahel, a 17-year-old with Algerian and Moroccan parents, has stoked longstanding complaints of discrimination, police violence and systemic racism among law enforcement — denied by authorities — from rights groups and within the low-income, racially mixed suburbs that ring major French cities.
