After the protests of October 24, the executive faces the prospect of a long social autumn

Following the mobilization on October 24, the French government remained largely silent about the significant protests against rising living costs and public service degradation. Approximately 410,000 people participated nationwide, with 110,000 in Paris, according to the Ministry of the Interior. President Macron acknowledged law enforcement's efforts but did not address the protests directly. The government's cautious response reflects a strategic approach to managing public dissent amid ongoing tensions regarding the right to protest.
