Elite units will also be deployed on Saturday in France to curb the unrest, while protests are also being prepared in major cities of other European countries.

France is deploying around 70,000 police officers to prevent further riots following violent protests over living costs and education issues. Arrests occurred during demonstrations organized by the yellow vest movement and protesting students. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez emphasized a strong police response, including elite units and crowd control measures. Major museums will close, and businesses are boarding up in anticipation of unrest. Protests are also expected in other European cities due to widespread dissatisfaction with public services and rising living costs. The situation reflects broader frustrations over corruption and education failures.
