In France, large protests against the rising cost of living and poor school conditions drew hundreds of thousands, with similar movements emerging in Italy and Germany. Major cities like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille witnessed demonstrations for the third consecutive Saturday, with the French interior ministry reporting 320,000 participants, while student unions estimated the number at 500,000, including 200,000 in Paris. These protests come as the presidential election approaches in six months.
