Seventy thousand law enforcement officers will be deployed to the streets of France for the Saturday protests

French authorities are preparing for significant social protests this Saturday, citing a high risk of public disorder. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez announced that demonstrations will be allowed but not in city centers due to potential disruptions. Recent protests on October 17 and 24 saw large crowds, with concerns over radical left movements inciting violence and looting. Nunez emphasized a strict approach to maintain order, warning against any form of unrest during Halloween celebrations. Enhanced security measures will be implemented, including routine checks at transport hubs to prevent violence-related tools from being brought to protests.
