Another wave of protests in France. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets, 135 were arrested.

France has mobilized 70,000 police officers for protests against rising living costs and social inequalities, following violent unrest last week. Demonstrations saw around 410,000 participants, with unions claiming double that number. While some confrontations occurred, violence was less severe than previously. Police used tear gas and water cannons in Paris, where a peaceful march turned confrontational towards the end. Other cities like Nice and Marseille experienced clashes, with several injuries reported. Authorities arrested 135 individuals, citing preemptive measures against potential violence. The unrest, which began with student protests, has evolved into a broader movement against economic conditions in France.
