France investigates the Molotov cocktail thrown at a police officer during the protests as "attempted homicide"

On October 31, France witnessed 150 protests organized by unions, student groups, and yellow vests, with 320,000 participants demanding improvements in public education and addressing the cost of living. Most protests were peaceful, but incidents occurred in cities like Paris, where a young man threw a Molotov cocktail at police, injuring several officers. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez labeled the incident as attempted homicide and announced an investigation. Despite some disturbances, calls for further protests are planned, including a national strike on November 3 and 5, focusing on wage increases and better public services.
