More than 130 people arrested in protests in France

Over 130 individuals were arrested in France during protests, primarily for carrying items that could be used as weapons. The French Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, reported that 135 arrests were linked to crowd control and the discovery of potentially dangerous objects, including mortars and metal balls. Security forces recorded 136 public order actions, a decrease from the previous week. Despite the arrests, no serious incidents were reported. Authorities are maintaining surveillance to prevent disturbances, anticipating potential provocations against businesses and security forces. In Lyon, tear gas was used to disperse crowds, while Marseille allowed a union protest despite initial bans.
