France: Macron govt blames far-left for protest violence, suspends grenade use

French government attributes violence in student protests to an organized maneuver by La France Insoumise and its 'ultra-guerrilla' representatives, while suspending use of certain grenades. The claim is contested, with unclear evidence. This marks a notable escalation in government rhetoric and a tactical shift in crowd control, potentially polarizing the political landscape ahead of elections.
