Social mobilization: despite a decrease in attendance, protesters want to "maintain pressure" before the social conference on Monday at Matignon

On November 7, tens of thousands protested in France against rising living costs, with 146,000 participants reported by the Interior Ministry. This marked the fourth consecutive Saturday of demonstrations, although turnout was lower than previous weeks. The youth unions claimed 250,000 demonstrators, emphasizing the need to maintain pressure ahead of government negotiations. While most protests were peaceful, some clashes occurred, particularly in Lyon, leading to over 230 arrests nationwide. The future of the movement hinges on the government's responses during upcoming social talks, with unions planning further actions.
