Another wave of protests in France, nearly a thousand people arrested. "This number will increase"

France has mobilized 70,000 police officers for protests against rising living costs and social inequality, following last week's violent riots. Despite some confrontations, the violence was less severe than before. Nearly 1,000 arrests were made during the demonstrations, with authorities preventing many thefts. The protests, which took place in multiple cities, saw clashes between demonstrators and police, particularly in Marseille and Nice. The Interior Minister noted that security measures were increased after underestimating the threat during previous unrest. Cultural institutions in Paris were closed for safety reasons, disappointing tourists. The unrest began in September with student protests and has evolved into a broader movement against economic conditions in France.
