The European Union called on France on Monday to "protect" the right to peaceful protest, while describing the acts of looting and vandalism that accompanied the protests in the country last weekend as "unacceptable."
European Commission spokesperson Marcus Lamer confirmed that there should be no confusion between people who demonstrate peacefully and those who commit acts of violence.
