Clashes at the end of a demonstration in Paris mark another Saturday of protests in France

On November 7, France witnessed protests for the fourth consecutive weekend against the rising cost of living and in support of student rights. The turnout was lower than previous weeks, with 146,000 participants nationwide, according to the Interior Ministry. In Paris, police estimated 46,000 demonstrators, while organizers claimed 75,000. The event ended with clashes as police used tear gas to disperse a group of about 200 violent individuals. The protests featured prominent figures from the Yellow Vests movement, despite a ban on gatherings. The government deployed 70,000 police and military personnel for security. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is set to meet with unions and student representatives to address social tensions.
