French police manage to control the protest

French police managed to control protests that were largely peaceful, despite some incidents of violence in various cities. Participants expressed frustration with the government and the political system, highlighting a lack of representation. The protests saw a significant turnout, with estimates ranging from 410,000 to 800,000 participants nationwide. While the day was marked by fewer violent clashes compared to previous weeks, tensions remain high, and further demonstrations are anticipated, including a nationwide strike planned for November 5. The political landscape is complicated by the recent congress of the far-right National Rally party, which confirmed Jordan Bardella as its president amid ongoing controversies.
