France protests: Cyril Hanouna addresses widespread unrest and property damage

During a special broadcast of the W9 program ‘Tout beau, tout neuf’, host Cyril Hanouna addressed the widespread chaos and property damage resulting from protests on October 17, 2026. The episode featured testimonies from local business owners, including a pharmacist named Aurélia, who described the devastation caused by looters at her establishment.

Hanouna criticized President Emmanuel Macron’s response to the unrest, suggesting the administration had left citizens abandoned. He claimed that Macron’s approach to the day of demonstrations was unprepared, comparing his preparations to a ‘karaoke night.’ The program also discussed the political fallout of the weekend, including reports that Macron had expressed regret regarding his 2024 decision to dissolve the National Assembly.
