PARIS ¨C A campaign to raise money for the family of the policeman who shot dead French teenager Nahel M. topped €1.47 million ($1.6 million) on Tuesday, far outstripping donations to Nahel¡¯s family and causing shame and anger among many French people.
The fallout from the shooting, and from the wave of rioting it triggered in France¡¯s poor suburbs, continued to dominate political debate, with Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne advocating in parliament a crackdown on young rioters and their parents.
President Emmanuel Macron hosted a 3?-hour meeting with 302 mayors of towns where rioting took place, described as ¡°cathartic¡± by one of the participants, and told them violence was subsiding.
