On Monday, the Paris police imposed a curfew in two districts of the French capital.

パリ警察は月曜日、フランス首都の2地区において夜間外出禁止令を発令した。

This measure follows the worst riots in years that broke out across France over the weekend, in which public buildings, including town halls, and thousands of businesses were targeted, and it aims to prevent further violence.

これは、週末にフランス全土でこの数年間で最悪となる暴動が発生し、各地の市庁舎をはじめとする公共建築物や数千もの企業が標的とされたことを受けた措置であり、更なる暴力の発生を防ぐことを目的としている。

According to a statement by the Paris police, the order is intended to "protect people and property from violence and looting."

パリ警察の声明によれば、この命令は「暴力や略奪から人々と財産を保護する」ことを目的としている。

The curfew prohibits entry to and staying in Place de la République, where Saturday's riots broke out, as well as the Les Halles shopping district, which has become a target of looting.

外出禁止令は、土曜日の暴動が発生した共和国広場、および略奪行為の標的となっているレ・アル商業地区への立ち入りと滞在を禁じるものである。

The curfew will take effect from 11 p.m. on Monday until 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

外出禁止令は月曜日の午後11時から火曜日の午前6時まで効力を発することとなる。

In addition, the Paris police stated explicitly that they would ban gatherings and demonstrations after 8 p.m.

加えて、パリ警察は午後8時以降の集会およびデモを禁止すると明言した。

Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu had called for a "highly limited" and "localized" curfew.

月曜日の早い時間帯に、セバスチャン・ルコルニュ首相は「極めて限定的」かつ「局地的な」外出禁止令を呼びかけていた。

In northern France, local authorities have imposed a curfew on children and adolescents under the age of 18 in several cities, including Lille, from Monday for the next two days, between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

フランス北部では、地方当局がリールをはじめとする複数の都市において、月曜日から今後2日間にわたり、午後8時から午前6時までの時間帯に18歳未満の児童および青少年を対象とする外出禁止令を課した。

Nice, on the French Riviera, has also imposed a nighttime curfew on minors starting at 9 p.m.

フランス・リビエラのニースもまた、未成年者に対し午後9時からの夜間外出禁止令を課している。

Prime Minister Lecornu defended the police's handling of the riots, saying, "Despite scenes of serious violence and extensive material damage, there were no deaths. That is a miracle."

ルコルニュ首相は警察の騒乱対応を擁護し、「深刻な暴力の場面や大規模な物的損害にもかかわらず、死者は出なかった。それは奇跡だ」と述べた。

He also stated that the details of the curfew are expected to be announced by the end of Monday, following consultations with the mayor.

また、外出禁止令の詳細については、市長との協議を経た上で、月曜日中に公表される見通しであると述べた。

In large-scale protests in France, violence often breaks out around otherwise peaceful marches and not infrequently escalates into clashes with the police.

フランスにおける大規模な抗議行動では、平穏な行進の周辺で暴力が発生し、警察との衝突に発展することも珍しくない。

Saturday's unrest brought to mind the riots that erupted in 2023 after a teenager was shot dead by police, as well as the violence during the Yellow Vest movement, which began in 2018 over fuel prices and widespread economic discontent.

土曜日の騒乱は、2023年に10代の若者が警察に射殺された後に勃発した暴動や、燃料価格と広範な経済的不満をめぐって2018年に始まった黄色いベスト運動中の暴力を想起させた。

The prime minister's instruction came after Interior Minister Laurent Nunez submitted his resignation on Sunday.

首相の指示は、ローラン・ニュニェス内務大臣が日曜日に辞表を提出した後に行われた。

However, President Macron's office said in a statement on Monday that he had rejected it, "taking into account the need to continue directing law enforcement in the current situation."

しかし、マクロン大統領は「現在の状況において法執行の指揮を継続する必要性を考慮して」それを拒否したと、マクロン大統領府が月曜日の声明で述べた。

According to the statement, the President instructed Minister Nunez to "take all necessary measures to ensure full transparency regarding the planning and intelligence failures that led to the violence."

声明によれば、大統領はニュニェス大臣に対し、「暴力につながった計画と情報収集の失敗について完全な透明性を確保するために必要なあらゆる措置を取る」よう指示した。

President Macron further called for the introduction of "new police tactics in the field as swiftly as possible" in order to put an end to the violence.

マクロン大統領はさらに、暴力に終止符を打つべく「可能な限り速やかに現場において新たな警察戦術を導入する」よう要請した。

During the night of Sunday, the group set fire to rubbish bins and bicycles in the streets of cities such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille, and looted businesses.

Dans la nuit de dimanche, le groupe a mis le feu à des poubelles et à des vélos dans les rues de villes telles que Paris, Lyon et Marseille, et a pillé des entreprises.

This violence follows that which occurred on Saturday, on the sidelines of national protests against the rising cost of living and the deteriorating conditions in schools.

Ces violences font suite à celles survenues samedi, en marge de manifestations nationales contre la hausse du coût de la vie et la dégradation des conditions dans les établissements scolaires.

At least 2,400 people have been arrested across the country.

Au moins 2 400 personnes ont été interpellées dans tout le pays.

On Monday, the authorities estimated that at least 3,000 businesses had been damaged or looted in several cities.

当局は月曜日、少なくとも3000社の企業が複数の都市で被害を受けたか、あるいは略奪に遭ったと推定した。

In Marseille, the prefect took measures to ban protests and other gatherings from noon to 8 p.m. on Monday.

マルセイユにおいて、県知事は月曜日の正午から午後8時までの間、抗議活動その他の集会を禁止する措置を講じた。

“I submitted my resignation because I am responsible for everything that is happening,” Minister Núñez said on France Inter radio.

「私が辞表を提出したのは、起きているすべてのことに対して責任があるからだ」とニュニェス大臣はフランス・アンテール radio で述べた。

“What is truly at stake now is ensuring that this never happens again. … Clearly, we need to become better able to anticipate mobilisations of the kind that are unfolding.”

「今、真に問われているのは、これが二度と起こらないようにすることだ。… 明らかに、我々は、展開しつつあるような動員をより的確に予測できるようになる必要がある。」

Minister Núñez attributed responsibility for the violence to "mobs of troublemakers and looters" and "far-left activists," and said that police strategy needed to adapt "in the face of highly mobile groups."

ニュニェス大臣は暴力の責任を「問題を起こす者や略奪者の大群」と「極左活動家」に帰し、警察の戦略は「非常に機動性の高いグループに直面して」適応する必要があると述べた。

According to a statement by the authorities, a group numbering in the hundreds intended to clash with the police and targeted public buildings, including the city hall and other public institutions.

当局の発表によれば、数百人規模の集団が警察との衝突を意図し、市庁舎やその他の公共機関を含む公共建築物を標的にしたという。

Minister Núñez admitted that the authorities had "lost control" in several major cities on Saturday.

ニュニェス大臣は、当局が土曜日にいくつかの主要都市で「制御を失った」ことを認めた。

Minister Núñez said, "With hundreds of businesses being looted, I cannot look shopkeepers in the eye and say that we have not lost control in some of these major cities."

「何百もの企業が略奪される中で、店主の目を見て、これらの主要都市のいくつかで我々が制御を失っていないとは言えない」とヌニェス大臣は述べた。

In Limoges, in central France, a town hall built in the 19th century was engulfed in flames, and the collapse of its roof left the building almost completely destroyed.

フランス中部のリモージュにおいて、19世紀に建造された市庁舎が炎に包まれ、屋根が崩落した結果、建物はほぼ全壊するに至った。

On Monday, cleaners and firefighters worked to clear shattered glass and other debris from the streets of Paris.

月曜日、清掃員と消防士が、粉々に砕けたガラスやその他の瓦礫をパリの通りから片付ける作業に従事した。

Uri Zagri, who runs a video game shop near Place de la République in Paris, said that although he closed his store on Saturday afternoon, he later witnessed looters forcing their way inside on surveillance camera footage.

パリの共和国広場近くでビデオゲーム店を営む店主のウリ・ザグリ氏は、土曜日の午後に店を閉めたものの、その後、監視カメラの映像で略奪者らが店内に押し入るのを目撃したと語った。

Mr. Zagri said, "The number of people going in and out was extremely large.

ザグリ氏は「出入りする人の数は極めて多かった。

Even when we called the police, we were told that they would refrain from intervening and would come right away, but they never came.

警察に電話をかけても、介入は控える、直ちに赴くとの回答があったものの、彼らが来ることは決してなかった。

This is a problem of an entirely different dimension."

これはまた別の次元の問題である」と述べた。

Jordan Bardella, the leader of the far-right National Rally party, pointed out that the government had failed to curb the violence.

極右政党「国民連合」のジョルダン・バルデラ党首は、政府が暴力の抑止に失敗したと指摘した。

"The government made a mistake, and the head of state failed to fulfil his essential duty to protect the French people," he told reporters at the party headquarters.

「政府は失敗を犯し、国家元首はフランス国民を保護するという本質的な責務を遂行できなかった」と彼は党本部で記者団に語った。

Mr. Bardella said, "I call on the French people to go beyond the right to protest and exercise their voting power now."

バルデラ氏は「私はフランス国民に対し、抗議する権利を超えて、今こそ投票力を行使するよう呼びかける」と述べた。

He has been campaigning alongside the far-right leader Marine Le Pen, and opinion polls have indicated for several months that she is the leading candidate in next spring's presidential election.

同氏は極右指導者マリーヌ・ル・ペンとともに選挙運動を展開しており、世論調査では数か月前から彼女が来春の大統領選の最有力候補であることが示されている。
