France braces for another day of protests as Yellow Vests urge 'mass disobedience'
On November 7, French unions and student groups will protest against the rising cost of living, while the Yellow Vests plan a separate rally despite a ban. The protests follow weeks of unrest and strikes, with the far right gaining traction ahead of upcoming elections. Authorities will deploy 70,000 police to maintain order, as previous demonstrations have seen clashes and vandalism. The Yellow Vests advocate for 'mass disobedience' and demand a response to the protesters' concerns, including wage increases and tax reforms. The government faces challenges in addressing these demands amid economic constraints.
