Despite Halloween, masks cannot be worn – the French interior minister warned those preparing for Saturday's protest

France will deploy 70,000 law enforcement officers for upcoming social protests due to high risks of public disorder. Minister Laurent Nunez announced that demonstrations will be allowed but not in city centers, citing threats from radical groups. Previous protests on October 17 and 24 saw significant unrest, prompting heightened security measures. Nunez emphasized zero tolerance for disorder, warning against using Halloween as a pretext for violence. Authorities will conduct routine checks at transport hubs to prevent violence-related tools from being brought to protests.
