More than 100 arrests during protests in France

In France, protests against the government saw over 100 arrests amid heavy police presence. While some cities experienced clashes, overall violence was less severe than the previous week. The Interior Minister deployed 70,000 police officers nationwide, leading to preemptive arrests due to found weapons. In Paris, a union-organized march was relocated to avoid potential unrest. Union representatives criticized the government's restrictions on protest locations, highlighting ongoing social anger over wages and living costs. The protests, initially focused on education improvements, have expanded to include various groups, including the 'Yellow Vests'.
