French authorities have sought to reassure the public after the country was swept by violent unrest last weekend. The ongoing crisis started with students protesting high prices and demanding education reform, but it soon escalated, with masked rioters looting shops and clashing with police. On Monday, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez admitted the authorities "lost control" and failed to anticipate the scale of the violence.

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has already pledged a "massive" security deployment for the event. While the European nation has seen two relatively quiet nights in a row, images of burning cars, broken store windows and ransacked buildings have been used by politicians inside and outside of France to increase pressure on the current government, led by President Emmanuel Macron.

Notably, US President Donald Trump attributed the unrest to "migrants, jihadists, and communists," saying they had "conquered, looted, and burned (France) to the ground."

While campaigning for the US midterm elections, Trump also said he had warned Macron about immigration, but the French president refused to close the borders. While visiting Qatar on Wednesday, Macron fired back at Trump, implying that the US leader and possibly Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were trying to gain political capital from the unrest in France.

Netanyahu also spoke of an "invasion of extremist Islam" earlier this week. "There are people who campaign at France's expense — leaders who are in campaign mode, whether here in the region or on the other side of the Atlantic," Macron told reporters on Wednesday.

"We've had people claiming that we were invaded by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is completely false,” Macron said. Later on Wednesday, Macron's far-right rival Marine Le Pen sought to dismiss his account as "conspiratorial."

"The images we saw last Saturday are not generated by artificial intelligence: they show the sad reality of what France has become after 10 years of Macronist rule," said Le Pen.
